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.

    • It doesn't work that way sir. You cannot create a thread expect logical honest discussion and then pick and choose which of his 32 career starts you want to evaluate his entire body of work on. 2023 his YPA was 5.5 For 2025 so far his ypa is 5.4. 5.8 is the average and that is being kind if I'm being honest.
    • Somewhat OT - This franchise forgot what it felt like to have an elite talent on defense that helped create the whole unit's je nes sais quoi.   Moehrig hasn't shown it yet.   Horn doesn't give me that; he's a top 10-CB at his best, but I don't get the sense he's this guy who just elevates the unit.  Same goes with DB.  All seem like strong assets moving forward, but it shows with our defensive output being sh*t.   You need at least 2 of those tenacious vocal leaders and captains.  It is MIA entirely from defense (although I think Princely and Ransom are interesting) I know you need the talent, but they just don't seem to elevate around them much.      
    • Bryce's best season is still Billy Joe Tolliver.  You can't remove everything but his best games and not do the same thing to everyone you're comparing him against. Isn't this getting out of hand?  Why can't we just accept what we've seen for 30 something games?
