Rush is not on the roster, he was a PS player that was not offered a reserves / futures contract.
Did you look at the team site for the roster. NEVER go by that roster. It is never up to date, NEVER.

Use this one, it is updated pretty much up to within a few hours of any roster move 90% of the time.

They still show Isaac Alarcon as an OT - just kidding. But Shultz is gone from their list.

Don't get the O'Diggy hate. But the rest have been more than underwhelming. Not sure there is an easy answer out there. Not a lot in free agency looking at the free agent tracker. Seems like it comes down to the draft and not sure there is a day 1 starter even if we took one in the first round. Going to be another year of trying to scheme around I hate to say.
Hey we still have another 5th rounder!
Let's work a trade!!!!!

Not hate, just an understanding that he's a solid rotation piece and not starter material.

Yep. It's garbage. Osa is only lumped in by association. He's actually a nice player.

But the group as a whole is an embarrassment and will get you beat in the playoffs.
Ideally you'd have Osa as your backup 3T, behind a starter who can at least get you 6-8 sacks.
Hankins (assuming re-signed) is probably fine as your run stuffing 1T, but Bohanna is useless even as depth.

I'd be calling Tampa Bay about Vita Vea. They're basically tanking.
Without knowing what they'd want, I would love to have Vea on this defense.
He can absolutely push the pocket and generate pressure on the QB as well as handle all of the typical responsibilities of a NT.
Heck, you could probably run him out there at 3T some next to a guy like Hankins.

So what your really saying without saying it, is revamp the whole DL.?
This Year..


In the real world your totally unrealistic and not even worthy of a discussion.
So this has to go down as one of the worst POST in Modern Day History
It's hard to be insulting when your grammar is that bad.

Nobody would be against a dominant DT, but it's also one of the easiest positions to get by with a JAG.

Yes, a dominant DT can change the game (and gameplan), but how many of them are out there? Can you find one on Amazon? The good ones are not available very often. When's the last time the likes of Donald, Chris Jones, Vea, Wilfork, etc. was available in FA? Even Fletcher Cox, who is past his prime, wasn't made available this offseason. Who was the marquee guy this offseason? DreMont Jones? Hargrave? That's $17M-$21M a year. Too high for a RB, too high for a safety, and too high for a DT who isn't Donald/Jones.
Only if you're not interested in super bowls.

So, show me all those super bowl winning JAG DTs?

Front office hasn't come up with anything "good" at DT for years but for sure, this is the time! Let's also note that you were one of the guys defending what they did at WR this past offseason while most of us knew they were messing it up. Sure enough, those fans were right and midseason the Cowboys were in scramble mode for WR help.

I expect much of the same - nickel and diming the position and then some project in the draft. They've shown zero desire to take the position seriously for years, not sure why I should start assuming they will do it now. I'll gladly admit I am wrong if they do something worthwhile at the position.
Will you be mad if they draft Kancey?

There's a pretty wide gap between dominant DT and what we are trotting out there. I am not asking for a dominant DT at this point. I am not asking for them to trade for Donald.

But how about go out and sign a Robinson or Ford? A good, quality DT instead of hitting the bargain bin for the likes of Watkins? How about invest a real draft pick in a DT over the years?

The excuse making for the front office continuing to mismanage the position is weird to me.
So because the team doesn't make DT a priority, that HAS to be the reason they haven't won a Super Bowl in 28 years. Got it. I thought it was because Dak can't beat a good D. Or because they signed Zeke to a ridiculous contract. Or because they traded Cooper last season without an adequate replacement plan. (All three of those reasons trump their supposed mismanagement of the DT position, BTW).

This team and FO has warts, not chief among them is their handling of the DT position.

No one available is going to guarantee a championship, but ignoring the position surely won't either.
Back-to-back 3rd round picks isn't exactly ignoring the position. Unless a game changer is available - that's about the right capital to spend.

There is no one problem. But their disdain for putting any substantial assets into a position that most teams view important like DT while pouring resources into the TB position is one of their glaring flaws IMO.

And yet people want to use a first round pick on a TB and want to pay a TB 10 million a year.

LOL.
