Is that a question as in "Is he actually good?" or did you mean it as the statement "He is actually good!"?

 

Because what you wrote makes no contextual sense.

It’s a question, don’t know why there is a exclamation point in there, fat fingers I guess... 

 

I edited it for you, ?

He definitely gives off the Jerry Hughes type vibe where a change of scenery might be all that he needs. I remember liking Floyd a lot in that draft, amazing burst, long arms and good instincts. He has the bend around the corner that all good DE’s seem to have. For the right price I would definitely  be interested.

Why not?  I have not seen him play much, no recollection of talent.

 

never liked him at georgia, during draft process and he hasn't lived up to his draft spot since. just a below average player backup at best imo.

Was there a link or story here at one time?

He is in 5th year of contract; if Bears do not cut they are obligated to pay full salary in March.

He has not been good at sacks except against Green Bay in college or NFL.

He is a versatile LB who can cover.

Bears have a number of players FAs and are having cap issues.

Sounds like the one year prove it deal player that Beane covets.

Absolutely loved the guy coming out of Georgia but I think he is strictly a 3-4 OLB.  

He seems well suited there.  I can see the Steelers grabbing him if the Bears rescind the 5th year option.  They definitely have a need there right now.  I wonder how he’d fare as a 4-3 SLB, possibly adding a pass rush option on passing downs?
