Thoughts?

 

Was he any good against the run?

I don't mind having vets in for training camp competition...but it's getting awfully crowded on the D-Line these days, especially given hurry-up offenses not allowing guys to sub out.

[Herc]

i think i remember us hoping he'd fall to us in the 2nd round the year the chargers had our first round pick

[Mr. P]

He signed.

Good deal. Solid depth. DT seems like one of the deeper positions on the roster right now with Linval, Jenkins, Patterson, Rogers, Austin, and Kuhn (thinking PUP)

“I thought I was going to still be there, but you never know how things are going to turn out,” he said. “I’m just happy I was able to land on my feet with the Giants. Even though I didn’t play that much last year, it wasn’t due to football injuries. It just came down to me getting sick and me recovering from my surgery. It was nothing to do with on-the-field stuff, so I know I’m perfectly healthy when it comes to playing football.” Mike Patterson

 

Sounds good; I hope he's right and is ready to go. Could be an offseason steal.

I like this signing about 4,000 times more than I liked us signing Jerome McDougall, lol.

No. And he's past his prime. You guys are on a low budget FA this year and he's the "value mac n cheese"

The man had brain surgery last year and prior to that, he was an undersized, run-stuffing force.

You'll see.
