I know its not a need. In fact the D-line is easily the strongest unit on the team. But we have well over 50 million in cap space and we are mandated to spend it this year, and I don't want to spend it on free agents who don't deserve it. I want to spend it on IMPACT PLAYERS, and if you have enough of those its never a bad thing.
That said, I would sigh Suh and switch to a base 4-3

Its a terrific five man rotation and you need a fifth man in todays NFL, its way too exhausting for four DL's to play an entire game, you need five starting caliber DL's with a run stuffing specialist and a pass rushing specialist, and thats what we would have with Snacks and Coples. So this can work and it essentially gives us a Super Unit on the defensive line, and we'll actually be getting some real bang for our free agent dollars with KONG SUH.
Lastly I talked about this last week in another thread, but it was to our detriment that the cap was recently increased. That gave the teams that were cap strapped a better chance to re-sign their own pending free agents and thus will limit the pool of impact free agents to choose from. So we essentially have a Gold Card this year, we're mandated to spend like drunken sailors, and we won't have a lot of real impact free agents to spend it on. Thats another reason why we have to make a run at a player like Suh.
