Maybe not since he's in year 5 of his deal. They may not want to pay the $20+mil a year for his next contract

maybe wait until after the bulk of the season is played to make judgemnts ..see how the coaches and players progeess, gelp, and what the teams accompaushed at that pojt, the preseason pre draft pre game 1 expectations and all this noise is wasted energy, it how they play together as a team, and the team record and post season success.. most of these posts are so early they were outodated after reply was hit.
it's the same nonsense we heard last off season all the historically bad offseason worst of all time doom and gloom all the way to the 2nd round of the playoffs. yet, here we are again claiming not enough being done in MARCH!!

not if they are reaches, you want another taco or hill to just because the position of need is filled?? its why you wait post draft to finish adding to your FA roster building.

I can’t speak on Poona I honestly never watched him play but is he good or simply better than what we have?

Is it possible to find a reach there though? Ika and Mazi are late first and second round guys…..if they simply take the best DT available they will be in a great position to get one of these guys.

I just look at Ika and I see so many similar traits to Vita Vea….I’d love to get him.

DT is a more important position than TB. It's easier to find competent TBs than DTs.
At what point will you get over your bitterness that Zeke was sent packing?

Comes from trading Diggs now and signing a top DT with that money

Better than what we have. Robinson is the same. Neither would be considered stud acquisitions.

At best, they will re-sign Hankins and possibly add a DT in the draft.

I like Robinson though. I want someone who doesn’t fold against double teams. Saw too much of that last year.

It doesn’t. This guy wouldn’t be the savior though….if he’d be a rotational guy at first. I think both Mazi and Ika have solid careers at least though.

I’d guess they will add a vet DT at some point.
But who exactly is out there that would move the needle much?
Sure, a Hankins would help, but the only real and somewhat plausible shot at an impact DT, not another body, would have to be someone like Mazi who slips to 26.

It’s also possible that Hankins told them he would sign, but prefers to do so after camp, and wants a ton more money to sign now.
A guy his size…veteran…I wouldn’t blame him knowing worst case is a contender calls with a couple million in October.
Not ideal for the team, but supply vs demand allows a guy like Hankins to do that is he wishes.
He looks like the ideal fit (based on what’s known to be available), but it may not be about Stephen pinching pennies on this one.

If you got a HOF player in his prime I would agree. Those are really hard to get though
There is no Aaron Donald we could get though

This won’t be a popular opinion but I wouldn’t take Mazi at 26. He’s great against the run but brings very little against the pass which means he’d be switched out for a rusher and not get but maybe 30-35% of snaps. Stuffing the run is great but doesn’t impact the game as much as impacting the passing game does

Someone has not been paying attention to things.
We have been weak up the middle for too long.
This obsession with pass rush is just plain dumb. You get a real fireplug type that can push up the middle; that is more effective many times then edge rushing
What to look for is a fairly short powerful guy. Stuffs the run and forces the OL to double team him because he is so strong. A very short powerful guy can get under the taller O line players and put them on skates. Just because someone does not have loads of sacks does not mean they are worthless like you seem to think
