They'll still be signing a "vet of some sort". It won't be Ingram, but i have no doubts that a Clowney, Houston or Dunlap could come in and provide at least what Ingram did and likely more.
And even with that addition, that's still a far cry from a "rebuild of the DL". If the plan is to add 1 vet and then call it good, then this isn't a rebuild. It's effectively the same damn DL + a rookie.
Now, we can't rule out the possibility of both a vet F/A acquisition AND a trade.
If we add one Vet, it's lackluster. If they could add say....a Clowney/Houston/Dunlap AND trade for Quinn....well now got something. At least for this season.

Probably what’s expected. But guys need to get this out of their head. We weren’t replacing a position group. This wasn’t a “we need to renovate the DL” like we did the OL last year.
The whole defense was shit outside of like 3 players. Secondary was terrible, DL was terrible. Neimann was terrible. Then we also had to fix the WR core after Tyreek left.
There’s only so much you can do in one offseason. But hey think of it this way: how bad would it be if we hadn’t traded Tyreek and had the resources to fix a lot of this shit?
