Howard is better than Sweeney, let's be honest. I'm not surprised he played well. The problem was if Howard plays well on a 1 year prove it deal then he's going to want a big contract so he was always going to be a 1 year rental. Meanwhile maybe Sweeney isn't quite as good but he's going to be the budget option and he's good friends with Josh and Dawson so it might be better long term. Hughes might have 1 or 2 decent years left but he's not Von Miller, simple as that
