Yes he's better than Klein. This is probably a cheap depth replacement for Dodson. Last season...3 sacks, 95 tackles, 12 TFL's, 5 qb hits. I can live with this guy backing up Matt & Terrell. Just don't call Klein ever again.
...he'll rack up some sacks early, then fade late. This seams to be the theme for our defense. Maybe our whole defense should be on an NBA load management rotation?
Seriously Beast, you're better than that. Look at his entire career. He gets beat. He's a step slow. He's a last resort player we're overpaying on based on his limited contributions. Beane could easily replace him (as a backup) with a much cheaper rookie. This is the year to completely rip the bandaid off.
I for one am extremely proud of what Beane is doing this off season. This may be painful for some players but it's beyond necessary for the future success of this team.
Exactly...if you want to avoid restructures, void years, cap hell or kicking the can down the road to screw you later, just stop overpaying for less productive players. This isn't rocket science, it's called preventative medicine.
