Mike Pennel is a classic example of how the NFL does not value the big body run defender at all.
Guys like him sit on FA forever, get signed during the year sometimes, don't get paid. It isn't just him either there's this long standing tradition of NTs getting cheap as all hell deals. It's because teams want the penetrator, the Chris Jones, or they want a big body guy that can do both which is how Mazi Smith got elevated in the draft.
