Avery still doesn't appear to be an every down kind of DE/OLB

He's not big enough to play in the trenches and not consistent enough against the pass to be trusted in coverage.. Wilson will be starting by the third game, so we'll have a Highly Paid kirksey as our first LB off the bench.. Sure, Avery may get some decent PT given injuries or blowouts, but his best shot at being even the top backup is the 2020-2021 season, presuming Kirksey is traded away [or cut bc he wouldn't take a lower restructure] after this year to resign other guys.

Under-the-radar Dorsey move this season: Trade kirksey for a second to another team w injuries.. take that in a heartbeat..

Totally agreed, but the long-term roster construction issue will always be a comparison of keeping quality depth around now (vs) the future benefit of one additional talented player on a cheap contract in a season when you could be even better.

In an ideal world, all our top backups would be on rookie deals.. Pay to keep irreplaceable stars such as Baker and Garrett, train up the backups to eventually replace during their first money deal, cycle everyone else through..

 

This is why swinging and missing on Corbett hurts so much.. But you have to risk it to get the biscuit.
