We'd be paying fitzpatrick less than 2M this year to cover the slot though, and we'd have him for 3 extra years on a cheap contract when you take into account the 5th yr option. And we'd actually be getting something in return for fuller rather than letting him walk in the offseason. It isn't like fuller has been in this defense for 3 years either. He probably is still scratching the surface as well. It would be a lot to get minkah and pat peterson up to speed, but we have a great offense to lean on, then we'd get hill back in about 5 weeks and you have claiborne coming back in another 3 weeks. We don't need the defense to be great by week 5. We need them to be ready to beat the pats in foxborough week 14 and this would give us a lot more talent to do that.
