If he is such a stud pass rusher why the hell was he traded? And for a 4th round draft choice? His last 3 years he has had 5,4 and 8.5 sacks. His sacks ticked up in 2017 after he was taken off the line and made a rushing LB. He has had back and hip issues. He may return to his glory years with a return to de, his natural position. However his last two years at de he had 5 and 4 sacks respectively. You are gambling that a 28 year old (when the new season starts) can regain the form he had 4 years ago. To me I'd rather use that 12m in other ways.

But that was 5 sacks in only 8 games and then 4 sacks in 9 games, need to put those figures you have thrown out there into context. Sure you could argue that it was also two years where he struggled with injury which is a concern. He is a dominant pass rusher who is still in his prime.
