Problem is with his age.

We're all about going young and is this just going to be Pep the last 2 seasons?

Not even close to being the same thing.

This is a nice move. If we’re moving to 3-4 edge rushers, we need a guy who has done it at a high level to lead the way for the new guys and it sounds like he can still contribute and possibly play at a high level for us. Remember, prior to joining the Falcons last year he was in Oakland dying to get out. I think with a full offseason and motivation from the start, he’ll be in better playing shape this year.

Go for Dexter Lawerence 

And get a Defensive End in Next Year's First Round 

You can't play it like that.. Next years edge rushers won't be nearly as deep as this years.. Because so many underclassmen came out to add more depth to this draft.. So if you need a edge rusher you're getting them this year.. Next year draft will probably be strong at WR and secondary..

I really really like Irvin.

Everyone should read this right now:

Not only do I hope he is a force for us this year, but I hope he stays here after this year, and finishes his career out with us.

Remember that we were interested in him when the Raiders cut him but he chose to reunite with old coach Quinn in ATL

I can't stress how much I love this move. It might be my favorite move of the offseason so far.

I'm hyped, man...  there's a big difference between 31 going on 32 and 37 going on 38, in football years.

We still need to draft a edge rusher early just not a 2nd 1 in later rounds.. Unless it's a talent hard to pass on..

[Proudiddy]

Also, Bruce has experience as a hybrid edge rusher, both in 3-4 and 4-3 defenses.  This is just so beautiful.

Is he better than Thomas Davis? Are there things that he can do that Thomas Davis can't/couldn't? If we were going to sign him, we should've kept Thomas Davis... 

 

They don't really play the same position.. So no.. The TD replacement is already on the roster getting 9 mil this year..

He is a better pass rusher, yes, absolutely.
