However, I think we will continue to struggle to get third down stops because of our lack of pass rush. I don't think Galette will be with us anymore and I don't think we will address it this season.

It's clear that Galette was nearly our only source of pass rush last season.
I don't understand why we're trading him.

Imagine how crappy our defense was last season, but with even less pass rush than they managed to show.
That's what we could be looking at in 2015.

I firmly believe that the 2013 defense was awesome due mostly to the effort of Jordan and Galette.

I'm holding out hope that we are trying to send him a strong message that these distractions won't be tolerated.

I can't see anyone we could get for him that would match his value. We have a young 10+ sack guy locked up through 2019. The one time the Saints lock a great player up early, we have this issue.

I'll add Lewis to that too. I really think we should give Wilfork a look at a 2 year deal if it is favorable ~$4-5 million/year. We would instantly get better against the run, could spell him with Jenkins, and it would give us an interior push + depth on the dline. Hell. we would have had 5+ sacks in the 1st atlanta game if we had any interior presence. We were destroying them off the edge only to have Matt Ryan able to step up in a clean pocket

I'm sure he'll get a nice contract somewhere though with his name despite his age
