is he still great or old?

is he still great or old?

I believe he fits in both categories.

Perfect upgrade over Shepherd

I believe he fits in both categories.

He's past his prime and since he'll be 32 years old once the next season starts, he's a decent upgrade over what we have now on our D-line in terms of depth, ability and experience but that's not really saying too much. Jarrett's a nice stop-gap until we draft or find a younger, explosive replacement in FA.

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT………I’d take Grady. That dude can play

 

[dvdman]

This is a no brainer signing if I’m the Saints. This guy can still play and can you imagine the chip on his shoulders every time he played against the Falcons?

He's an undersized 4-3 penetrating DT on the wrong side of 30 and was the 48th graded DT in the NFL last year after coming off an ACL. Making him switch schemes when he's already on the downswing of his career doesn't sound like a great move but idk what is market will command price wise. Could be a decent depth piece

i think this is what the Saints are going to have to do, sign a bunch of vets older vets to 1-2 year deals. Let there be an 8-10 starter rotation with these guys. Keep adding these guys year in and year out, for the next 3 years, until they find themselves in cap heaven. After the vets' one year is up, then draft their replacement. Rinse and repeat. That way we always remain competitive at the same time building from within.

She's got a habit and is a member of the cartel. She into furries and has a history of mental illness. But glass half full, I bet she doesn't mind if the first date is taco bell.

That was quick. Bears doing a lot of shopping with Ben Johnson.

This seems like a lot of cap for a downhill 32 year old DL. The type of contract to force a team to eventually restructure a lot of players every year.

A lot of DTs and EDGE rushers getting paid.

The joy of having a QB on a rookie contract.

That's a questionable amount to pay him, but they also have cap space so it won't kill them to move on if he doesn't perform up to standards after a 2nd year.
