Chandler Jones before Easley, actually.
Anyhow, the if-healthy starting front seven is Hightower/Mayo/Collins plus Jones/Easley/Wilfork/Ninkovich, which represents considerable investment. However, the backups are a lot cheaper than back when guys like Jarvis Green, Ted Johnson or even Willie McGinest didn't start. Ayers could be a first step toward spending again on Front Seven depth.
Hard to have an apples to apples comparison given the different roles. I'm comparing wilfork, Branch and siliga to W, seymour and warren. Much cheaper.
Hightower mayo collins and chandler to guyton and the rest of the flotsam and
jetsam between now and the classic LB De-olb groups.
