That’s because the dynamic of the position has changed in recent days.
The position, which has been one of the strongest not only on the team but one around the league in terms of quality starters in recent seasons, remains that way, with Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis each making a second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance this past season.
It’s the depth at the position that likely will be addressed in the coming weeks and months.
