I've seen the "Terry Fontenot made the trade to save his job!" takes and they don't make sense. Fontenot's going to be judged by the strength of the Falcons roster and their wins this year, and rookie pass rushers are rarely big-time producers. You make this move if you expect to see it pan out

I mean now he's going to be judged strictly on the production of the DL. If the Pearce and Walker don't immediately lead to a significant increase in sacks and TFLs then he's kinda screwed
