There's the link for the interview...

I had to look for it after I had heard a clip of it on the radio yesterday. He didn't sound to excited about the prospects from the sound of his voice, but he does sound like we're definitely an option. He also said that he has heard we were interested in him.

It sounds like he could still be on the market next month so if we have a little left over after signing our draft picks, we should consider bringing him in assuming he is willing to play for only 1.5-2.5 million because that is the most we can afford to pay (if that).

why? our LB corp is nothing to complain about, and he has been in the league for 11 yrs already.

He is a natural DE. He was moved to LB when Dallas switched to a 3-4 defense. He never liked it, and prefers to play DE. You can never have too many good linemen.

unless he moves to DT..i say we have too many DE..that will not be here long we need to get young players that can give us that pass rush we need.

big mixed feelings about this one. love the experience factor he would bring. i don't see him as being a long term solution and i think i would rather see us develop our other DEs...get the future bookends, johnson and brown as much PT as possible.

as far as moving him to DT...maybe on passing downs. i don't know. he's same height but about 20 pounds lighter than brayton. not sure about that going against the interior and not sure he would like that anymore than being an OLB. still, he would be solid for a year, maybe 2...and something that we would need if peppers isn't here which he most likely will be. peppers could stand to have someone here he looks up to, though.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
