That's the key, Super Bowl appearances tend to drive prices up, but assuming his cap number is lower than Weaver's would have been this year (possible) then they can still go after a DE in the draft. It would probably be less likely that it would be early, but they could be in just as good a position to take one in the first as they were before. It would all depend on the contract.The big names get the pub, but FA's should let you fill your holes before the draft so you don't have to reach, unless you want to, on draft day.

Pancakes could very well be right (and it pains me to say it). The team might not be looking for that light speed rushing RDE like we are....at least not early on.
