Really hope Payne drops to Atlanta.

Cause I am not sure Poe is worth his contract, and Matty Ice is about to get paid.

Poe is worth it but he was on a year deal, so he doesn't have a contract. Take a look at Atlanta's run defense before Poe and after... he was VERY worth it. But he's not getting any younger and if Poe doesn't agree to another year with Atlanta that will be a huge deal because there aren't going to be a ton of top free agent tackles out there, let alone a true nose. Clayborn is also a free agent and I highly doubt Atlanta is going to keep both Clayborn AND Poe.

Sheldon Richardson and Alex Okafor are free agents but Richardson is more so a 3-4 end and a 4-3 tackle than a nose and Okafor is an edge rusher and both are going to demand as much money as Poe. My hope would be Atlanta keeps Poe on a 2-year deal and brings in Richardson. Tak McKinley, Sheldon Richardson, Jarrett, Poe, Upshaw and then bring in Payne. That is a super solid rotation on the line. I can just imagine when they switch to the rush package with Beasley and McKinley on opposite ends and Jarrett or Poe and Richardson or Payne rushing from the inside.
