80% of what Omenihu gave us isn't far removed from Danna.
That's the thing, Omenihu is kinda the very least we can reasonably get from our #2 rusher.
I really don't think we can afford to pinch pennies and cut corners at that spot. We NEED that #2 rusher to be a guy who draws attention. Derek Barnett ain't gonna do that, IMO.
Ultimately the best approach to trying to get by on the cheap at RDE would, unfortunately, probably be baking on FAU to make a leap in year 3.
But I'm not super interested in another $7-10 million DL who's just...eh.
Give me the $14 million guy who's good or the $1 million young player who might be.
That mediocrity in the middle doesn't interest me any more than it did when we gave Danna his deal. Those just don't tend to work out well.
