I'll be interested to see the contract details.
Incidentally, here's a 2015 article someone on Stampede Blue posted regarding the surprising effectiveness of pass rushers in their early 30's, though the then-30 year old subject of the article (Mario Williams) didn't exactly live up to the premise of the article:

I follow the logic, but I think he was booted because he's an OLB and was null in coverage for them. His pass-rush ability -- though more power than speed now -- is still ++++.
