Sentiment Analysis

Solid depth move. Bringing back Pierre-Paul (proven pass rusher) and activating Kancey (young DT prospect) addresses defensive line needs. Waiving Bullock (UDFA who made roster but limited production) is standard roster management. Net positive for defensive rotation and competition, though not transformational.
