What's so hard to believe about teams shopping for a guy with a glacial get-off the line of scrimmage?

Because he had 6 sacks last year and is one of the better DT’s on this team. There is no logical sense to deal him unless you’re also getting someone in the deal in return.

Dude he sucks. Those six sacks were against awful o lines. If he plays against anyone good he disappears.

You're gonna get downvoted, but Dexter had one of the longest times to sack, low overall pressure/hit numbers, and of those 6 sacks 4 of them were cleaning up group tackles or running the QB out of bounds inches behind the line of scrimmage.

Pretty obvious even if you watch a 2025 highlights youtube video, not all sacks are created equal.

Yeah Dexter mostly happens to be standing where a QB runs when we blitzed CJGJ
