Schefter: Bruce Irvin to Panthers on 1-year deal

I am still holding my Breath 

We had a guy we signed last year on the DL who Atl didnt try to resign him.  We were all hype and estatic because he used to be a star

Good, we were so thin at EDGE rushers that this gives a little bit of depth and flexibility.

We said that about Poe. Let’s wait and see on this one. Could just be a leadership signing.

Hurney 2.0 is a savage.

You are correct About this.  I still think on the surface the move makes sense.

hey hurney…..nice job

Brady Hoke's coaching trashed our already depleted line. I'm going to give Poe one more year to see what more attention/scheme from Washington/Rivera can do for him. Irvin will do what we signed him for...situational pass rusher. He'll be nice depth and veteran experience behind some high draft picks.

Get another Safety and call it a Day.

I think he’s good depth but for people saying DE or 3-4 OLB is set now, it’s not. Irvin isn’t a great player anymore but he can be a good rotational guy. 

This stat says he is actually still really, really good:

Even though Irvin is now 31 years old and has played in over 100 games, he’s worth bringing back for another round. This stat from Sheil Kapadia at the Athletic proves Irvin can still be a valuable pass-rushing threat for Atlanta, or any team. Apparently, Irvin ranked among the league’s top 10 players in sack/hit percentage when rushing the passer.

 

“He produced a sack or QB hit on 8.3 percent of his pass-rush opportunities. That was the ninth-best mark among the 174 players who had at least 200 pass-rush snaps last season.”

 

Impressive stuff from Irvin.

 

The Falcons should seriously consider bringing him back to help round out the edges as well as Adrian Clayborn, who was released by the Patriots.
