Played 4-3 in college got drafted by the Jets and played 3-4 ever since. I'm sure he can pick it up no problem.

Huge bust. And to think, according to Rivera, we really liked him as a DT when he came out.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Would be on board with that, think they'll add a couple guys at end this offseason. Especially with Allen probably not coming back and CJs future uncertain

[frash.exe]

We can buy him low

[Lemory]

The Dolphins also released Brice McCain who could fit the mold of a low risk/high reward type of signing that Gettleman loves. 

[SwagAces9030]

Loved him coming out of the draft... Would be a solid Gettleman type of pickup.

[Bartin]

Bills tried to claim him when he was released and Rex was the guy who drafted him. He fits our 4-3 scheme much better and it would be a homecoming but Buffalo will almost certainly be in on him which could raise his price if we go after him.

Unrelated, but he really does have the grossest arm brand I have ever seen and no that's not a challenge to find one that's worse.

Should come cheap with low risk.  Worth a signing.

Mother of...

The answer is an astounding,  obvious,  undisputed YESSS

 

Got drafted high,  got paid alot,  got stuck in a 3-4 when hes a 4-3 DE.. 

Didnt produce,  got waived

 

Idk what happened with the Dolphins,  but they fugin suck. 

 

 

 

Bring him in on a fair deal and see what he can do.  We have a history of reviving players.   

 

Mitchell

Ginn

Oher

Coleman

 

 

If you say no bécause you think he sucks youre resting on your laurels,  leaving stones unturned,  and not wishing for due dilligance

 

Yesss

But why has he been a bust?

Is he really just not that good, or is has it been poor system fit?

I haven't followed him closely enough to know, but that's the question I'd be asking myself if I were gonna take a look at him.

To be fair, nobody expected much of Ted Ginn when he signed here either.

Jets drafted Sheldon Richardson, tried to make Coples a 3-4 OLB when he's really a 4-3 DE. 

According to some guy on Reddit.
