If Poles is unable to sign Sweat to a long term deal I think I might have to take another few years off from paying attention to this team
It's not a huge thing in the grand scheme, I mean, but it would be the culmination of tons of really bad dumb decisions. And it would be such an easily avoidable blunder.
I'm not even necessarily mad they didn't go after edge rushers the last few years - it takes a long time to build a good roster and I'm OK with them, theoretically, being like 'we're rebuilding, we're focused on developing an offense and a QB, we're not committing a ton of resources to this area of the team for right now', but then they make a deal like this, which is ??? doesn't make any sense.
