Seems like a hefty price for him...

Gettin deep up in here.

I honestly don't know what to think about this

6 million a year (potentially 9) for a starter? Not really.

16 starts, 4 sacks, 9 QB hits.

But he's not really starter quality. Nor much of a pass rusher.

Never heard of this dude.

Is he any good?

If the Chiefs sign him he’s a badass.


If the Chiefs release him he was an overpaid, worthless piece of shit.


There you go.

$6 million for a 4 sack player or $21 million for a 9 sack player?

Value

Good pickup. Needed a vet 4-3 Defensive End. Now we have more flexibility this offseason

Seems steep, but want to see the structure of the deal.

Solid move. You couldn’t get Ogbah so this was plan B.

Productive, experienced pass rusher who can provide good depth and rotate.
