Was reading about him and he's going to be a free agent. Was behind Vanden Bosch and Odom in Tennessee and is kind of small for a 43 DE. He'd be a great fit here as an OLB, what do you guys think?

edit-The more I read about him the more I think he is a must-sign. He's coming off the bench for Tennessee and will come relatively cheap. Great speed off the edge and plays with 110% effort. Fits the Mangini mold. Also, ff we sign him I can understand drafting Ellis over Gholston.

I like him a lot, but I don't think he is a fit for the 3-4.

Based on his size alone he could play OLB. But I really don't like getting another backup. Sure, we could find a diamond in the rough but I rather throw money at some of the Oline guys in free agency. There are tons of OLB prospects in the draft who might also have it easier to learn the position...
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies...
