Was waived. Not released.
I don’t know what he’s got left. He has played with little on field impact this season. I don’t think this signing makes a difference unless there’s an eye on decent back up in case you take further injuries to an already banged up position.
Yeah, that's likely why he wasn't claimed, but the salary played a role. The question is what can he provide in a rotation on a good team. If he can still rush the passer a little as part of a rotation OR play off the ball at or even slightly below an average NFL level he can help a team. I don't think there is any question he can be a low end starter or help in a rotation because I think he already was that this year and now may have some extra motivation, but he isn't going to be a game breaker of course. If he only cost a team $1M to $2M for the rest of the year he would have been claimed. I think his floor is an average player which to me makes him worth signing. What his ceiling is for this year I just have no clue.
Adding him helped a lot.
Yeah I knew i'd hear from you. Obviously I didn't get the chance to watch all of his plays and I am aware he got a sack and a 1/2. But I did get a chance to watch him the other night and he was shut out, no sacks no assist didn't really get close to the QB. I'm not convinced he was the reason they have had so many sacks recently.
It will not last but he is a huuuuuuuuuge reason for them averaging 5 sacks per game since the trade.
If stats don't matter how can you keep trotting out how many sacks he was on pace for for the year?
Often overlooked by the stat mongers.
Doesn't matter. Funny is funny.
It is tough to gauge. They completely changed the defense while he was recovering from the nerve injury. So it could be a case that he is just no longer a scheme fit instead of not having it anymore. He is still only 28.
