There's the link for the interview...

I had to look for it after I had heard a clip of it on the radio yesterday. He didn't sound to excited about the prospects from the sound of his voice, but he does sound like we're definitely an option. He also said that he has heard we were interested in him.

[Paint-It-Purple]

i would take him. Sounds like he has something left in the tank. we could use some more depth on the DL anyways.

[TerriblePizza]

We won't sign him.

[Cyclonus]

I am really hoping he comes here!

[Murph]

It sounds like he could still be on the market next month so if we have a little left over after signing our draft picks, we should consider bringing him in assuming he is willing to play for only 1.5-2.5 million because that is the most we can afford to pay (if that).

[Kettle]

why? our LB corp is nothing to complain about, and he has been in the league for 11 yrs already.

he will be a DE..here

[Paint-It-Purple]

yes a DE. he could really help someone like Johnson and Brown

[PhillyB]

pick him up, glean all his knowledge of the dallas defense, and if he makes the roster, cool, if not, we gain anyway.

He is a natural DE. He was moved to LB when Dallas switched to a 3-4 defense. He never liked it, and prefers to play DE. You can never have too many good linemen.

unless he moves to DT..i say we have too many DE..that will not be here long we need to get young players that can give us that pass rush we need.

[Paint-It-Purple]

Is a great idea to sign him, but as we all know it wont ever happen. Painit-It-Purple, im a HUGE ECU fan, hope thats what your screename means!

I am a Pirate. 1996-2001. I bleed purple and gold!

[carpanfan96]

He's not that big to play DT he's 6-6 260. I wouldn't mind signing him and using him as part of the rotation though.

[rayzor]

big mixed feelings about this one. love the experience factor he would bring. i don't see him as being a long term solution and i think i would rather see us develop our other DEs...get the future bookends, johnson and brown as much PT as possible.

as far as moving him to DT...maybe on passing downs. i don't know. he's same height but about 20 pounds lighter than brayton. not sure about that going against the interior and not sure he would like that anymore than being an OLB. still, he would be solid for a year, maybe 2...and something that we would need if peppers isn't here which he most likely will be. peppers could stand to have someone here he looks up to, though.
