Signing a veteran nose tackle all but a must

[Lake Shore Drive]

With Eddie opting out and back up John Jenkins placed on the Covid reserve list (not sure what that means in terms of how much time he'll miss), it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Pace will need a one year veteran stop-gap to help plug that all important spot on the DL, at least until Jenkins is back. They might consider moving Nichols or RRH over to cover, but neither are really built for the nose, especially RRH. Nichols might be able to make a go of it, but I prefer to leave him at the DE. The article below mentions two vets who are available. Maybe there are others, don't have a list of the current crop of unsigned FA NTs.
