You guys are casuals . This guy is pretty good and play hard . I’m not mad at it and I’m not saying he will be a star . But comparing him to Mario Addison is the prefect comparison . I like his upside and we didn’t pay him way too much . 

Casuals--great word.

This is what you do in free agency---you do not shoot for the stars--fool's gold.

i mean if you go back to what MHS just said earlier in the thread, and if you ask most vikings fans/look up what they think of him, there's nothing but postivity. he has the traits to be a potential starter, and i think we're signing him to see if he can be that for us. interesting DE who has a good 40 and is rangy on the field.

I would love this if it was a 4 or 5 year deal with the same money. Problem is it’s 2 that’s the issue. 25 with potential sign me up but a 2 year deal for 2-3x what his market is....oof no thanks

But how good is his immune system

I am hoping that this is a contract that his relatively low on guaranteed money. The price seems a little excessive but a two year commitment is not much. 

Can't say I am impressed, can't say I am upset.

He looked great and got benched by dumbass Rivera. He was a number 1 pick for a reason and we wasted his playing time.

DEs are rotational. 44% of the snaps over the past 2 years.

I like his upside.  Scratch DE off our list (4-3)--I bet he doubles his sack production here.

By the way--I agree with your post---but we do not know the circumstances in Minnesota either.  He has the tools---let's coach him up.

Any word on that MLB from Chicago?  Forgot his name--that is the FA I want to add.

6.25M per for 3 sacks?

 

Mmkay.

He didn’t start. He backed up Everson Griffen. Charles Johnson backed up Peppers before he got to start.

Addison replacement 

I agree...Addison replacement!

[LinvilleGorge]

We sign a guy with six career sacks over the course of four seasons and people are acting like we've found the answer.

Good grief.

Most of this board consists of casuals

With the Chris Smith signing two weeks ago and now Weatherly, its clear we're transitioning back to a 4-3D
