You can't worry about that at this stage. Just draft a NT when possible in the next couple of years as insurance. If you miss on the draft pick, and you can't resign or don't want to resign Hankins, then look at free agency again.

Who knows how it will pan out though. Far too many free agents end up being busts for their new team. Hopefully Hankins isn't one of those. We badly need him to play well here.
