He hasn't turned out to be weak. He has played well against the run and has done well pressuring the QB. At his age, I would not give him away for nothing.
I agree. I don't think he's ever going to be the player everyone though he would be coming out of Ohio State but he's a useful DE that does okay against the run and gets pressure but needs to get home more. He's not worth huge money, but if they could get something done in the range of Granderson's money or a little less, I'd sign him to a two or three year deal to set the floor for our DEs. We don't have any other DEs besides Granderson so he makes sense to keep so that we don't have to reach or trade up for a DE in the draft.
At the same point if someone offered a 3rd for him, I'd take it if we don't think we can get a deal done with him for the right money.
