Low chance of working but still a chance, that's all I need. It would be a plan, not just throwing shit at a dartboard. Hope it is true. Hope it works if it is true.

Since you are particularly insinuating that we are getting older on defense, the let's look at this objectively.

Arden Key, 29, was signed to replace Samson Ebukam 30.
Michael Clemons, 28, was signed to replace Kwity Paye 27.
Cameron Mitchell was signed to replace nobody and is 24.
Cam Taylor Britt was signed to replace nobody and is 26.
Juanyeh Thomas, 25, was signed to possibly replace Nick Cross 24. But Cross just as likely may be replaced by Hunter Wohler 23.
Akeem Davis-Gaither, 28, was signed to replace Zaire Franklin, 29 or Germain Pratt, 29, take your pick. But, is most likely a depth signing.

So exactly how are we getting older on defense?
