Him and Mack would really change our defense for the better. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

The guy can still play at a high level. I wonder what he'd cost us? The only concern is that he's missed a lot of games and is now 30 years old. He hasn't completed a season since 2014. Kind of like 30 year old Kyle Long. Great to have them when they're healthy, but don't count on them for a full season.

Maybe we can get him at a good price, if he wants to win - makes sense! Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

Lot to like here. He's still a productive edge rusher, we need a 3rd OLB to keep Mack & Floyd fresh, and he wouldn't affect the comp pick calculation.

Questions are:
Will his price come down enough to make him affordable?
Is he willing to be a rotational player rather than a "starter"?

I think we can all agree that being a rotational player should help with injuries and keep all of them fresh. Depends if he still sees himself as a starter or not.
