Offseason moves I would make

Re-sign Eric Berry. I believe the reasons of why you do that are well known and really don’t need to be explained.

Don’t re-sign Dontari Poe. Has not been the same since the back injury and was flat owned by the Steelers in the playoff game.  Watching games closely, you’ll see Poe really has turned simply into a clogger in the middle of the field.

While many will point to the loss of Derrick Johnson as the reason for the rush defense issue, this defense had troubles stopping the run all season, and the main culprit is Poe. I would listen on a new deal, but certainly not giving out big dollars. Big men’s bodies break down quickly, and at 350 pounds, Poe’s body may not last much longer to perform at a high level.
