He's still young enough to contribute meaningfully. I suspect his "surgery" is a desire not to get hurt playing meaningless exhibition games. It will cost top dollar. After the money we wasted on Von Miller I don't see us making such a move
We're going to draft near the bottom again and will be lucky to get one impact player. I'd like bigger, more dominating DLs but that sounds like installing a different scheme
As disappointed as I am with our defense I know that over a 17 game season there will be letdowns. After beating the reigning conference champions in back to back weeks, a letdown is understandable if not excusable
