That is one of the more intriguing questions of the offseason. While Matthews had a bit of a bounce-back season from a pass-rushing perspective — he had 7.5 sacks, his most in a season since 11 — some questions remain about his long-term viability as an edge rusher. The move he made to inside linebacker a few years ago seemed to be beneficial for the defense as a whole, and now rumblings are starting up about whether he could move back inside on a more consistent basis again.
There remain questions about where the team needs him the most, of course, and one of those questions revolves around the team’s depth on the edge.
