Atogwe had 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles in 2010. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2006, Atogwe has 43 combined forced fumbles and interceptions _ the most in the NFL over that time.

He's 29 years old, defensive captain for the Rams in 2010 and one of their best players if not THE best player for them on defense. The only reason he's being released is that he's due an $8 million roster bonus that they don't want to pay.

Looks to me like a massive upgrade from Godfrey, and it would allow us to push CG to backup, strengthening our depth.

Great blitzer and a huge gambler everywhere else. The epitome of high risk/reward type of player.

Not sure he is really what we need right now...

Couldn't u say the same about Godfrey? Aggressive but usually out of position? At least otogwe has been in this league for a while and has the same attitude. Ya godfrey had a lot of ints but the guy is the epitome of inconsistent. Problem is the price otogwe might command.

    • You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out. 
    • So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB. 
    • All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
