He was pretty productive when in the Tampa lineup, had 5 sacks last year but seemed to fall out of favor in Tampa for whatever reason. Not sure what the money is, but could be a possible bargain signing IMO... Sorta reminds me a bit of the Darian Stewart signing a few years back but different position obviously.
Provides some potential interior pass rush. From what I have read - he has fallen off against the run in the last couple of years. I think he's a good signing-though.
This is really what it is about.
Gives them the option to take DL, but doesn't put them in a pressure situation to reach a bit to fill a spot. Much more comfortable feeling going into the draft.
