Now this is a really good signing! In fact, I like this better than Ha Ha last year as he's a bigger (6-1/212) in the box presence who is really good against the run. I was surprised to see he has 23 picks in this career.

I liked him a lot when he signed with the Jags.

Last big hole plugged. Still not too keen on Iggy and Woods at ILB, would be nice to find someone cheap to push them.

I think it's nice that vets forced into crap deals want to do them with us.

And brother of 5th rounder Trevis Gipson!

(Not really. Couldn't resist.) :evilgrin:

Good to see you, LT2! :welcome:

I liked him once upon a time; hopefully his wrist and back are healed...

Nobody wanted to see KPL and Kwit starting either in the middle. In Pace we trust, when it comes to defensive depth.

He was cut, and we're after the deadline so comp pick formula not affected.

Hey Fiver ! Long time eh? Nice to see your continued existence. I've seen multiple KFFLers on here. Feeling a bit n00bish.

Good to see my Billy and The Boingers fan club member again.

We are a hell of a D to regain value for vets.

Like the signing. Sounds like $3.5 mil (minus whatever we pay him) is on the hook for Texans. I had a feeling once we took Kindle Vilder that SS was likely to be a vet minimum.

He's our version of the Trey Burton signing of the Colts. Can sign for less here to regain value because the previous team is still writing checks.

Me too! LT, I never knew you like Bloom County. I used Bloom County as bedtime reading for my kids growing up. Later, it became Calvin and Hobbes.

This is still one of my favorite clips (second clip on the page):

Another one was when Opus is asleep under a tree outside a nuclear reactor going "whirr, whirr, whirr." It then goes "Click" and Opus opens one eye and says, "Uh oh." The next strip they're talking about possible transmutations from the Nuclear Reactor accident. Opus says, "Er…. Transmutations?" And in final frame Opus has become Snoopy. The next strip Opus is back as himself locked in the dog bound with a switchblade bearing dog saying, "What's up Tux Boy."

Met Berke Brethed at a book signing and he said you wouldn't see the Snoopy bit in any collections because of Copyright. Too bad. It was fucking hilarious.

I had a perception of him as a competent starting safety, but PFF has dissolve disliked him for a while. Not that they're the end all be all, but it's something.

Most underrated comic ever. A favorite was when Sean Penn headbutted Steve's back and put him in a brace. He says to Quiche "remember when we said wed love each other no matter what?" Cant remember exactly the response but ends in that things gross!

Well then, now this is a real signing.

Should slide in as our starter opposite of Jackson immediately.

I take everything you offer at arms length - particularly as i'm mostly blind. C'est la guerre.
