Haven't seen him discussed much here, but looks like he could be had for roughly the same amount as we are committed to Floyd.

Can he play OLB or is he strictly a 4/3 DE? He's a hell of a pass rusher, and would be incredible opposite Mack.

Yeah you know me.....

No thinking he is a fit. Had the fractured neck, was cleared last year, but that could be a deal breaker. He is on the + side of 30. He would have to be cheaper than Floyd's current # for me.

He's 31, a bit shorter but 30+ pounds heavier. He's been an outside LB in 4-3 defenses his whole career, made $7.75M last year. Still racking up 8+ sacks per season. He is credited with helping Shaq Barrett go wild and get 19 sacks. I'm not sure how he at defending passes and handling the run, not a lot of stats on that.
