Salary Cap

Wonder if any DE veterans being pushed by younger guys or draft pick that might be a surprise cut in June?

i kind of wonder if DE will be our #1 priority in next years draft.

That is my preliminary sense as well. DE appears to be the highest, most obvious unaddressed need at this point in the off season. Of course, that does not mean we are in trouble in that area, or that we should start with the hand-wringing.

If we had another first round pick that we could use right now, I would predict we would use it on a DE. So, if nothing changes between now and draft day next year, that will probably still be my prediction.

Good question. If not June, then possibly in camp if the vet loses his job.

Arizona drafted 3 DEs and signed ex-Titan Travis LaBoy. Bertrand Berry and Chike Okeafor could be on the hot seats. Berry was a FA find by Texans GM Rick Smith (then with the Broncos).

Of course, Jacksonville spent their top 2 picks on DEs. Reggie Hayward (another former Bronco) has been a free agent disappointment and could be on his way out with DEs like Paul Spicer, Brent Hawkins, and Jerome Mincey already on the roster (though Spicer could move inside to DT).
