Obviously there are priorities but anyone talented that wants to be here should get a look. You never know. Our defense was dog shite.

Unless you have someone leave, you already have 4 guys on the roster today and more on the way for 2 ILB positions and Perkins as your SAM (assuming a new DC keeps him in that role). If they bring in a more experienced guy via the portal to try and upgrade over what Penn gives you, then it’s hard to bring in more.

Keep in mind that we no longer have a roster numbers shortage. Without processing or multiple players leaving, it may be difficult to prioritize LB in the portal this cycle. The staff may decide to just roll with what we have there and look for development under a new defensive staff. DT and a lock starter at CB to go with Johnson, Alexander and the younger guys seem to be the biggest priorities on defense.
