Perhaps he is finally on an uphill swing having now gotten a few more years of football experience which he was sorely lacking coming out of college.

And, if not, I cannot imagine that he will make terribly much (south of $2m a year I would guess) so cutting him will not hurt at all.

Really, a low risk move for, perhaps, medium return. He will never be a world beater.

The question is "can he push T.Y. McGill down the depth charts" since I think our DE 5-tech depth chart is: Anderson, Jones, Langford and Ridgeway as starters and primary depth. McGill and Hunt are working towards DE #5.

Cheers,

Not exactly. We don't use (2) 5 techs. Usually it is a de and a dt. So where will he fit. Probably de while McGill is usually a dt or nt
