Does this guy still have any juice left? Drafted in 2014 by NO.

Well why not I guess. He's played for practically everyone else and he's old as f so he fits right in.

Probably the best veteran available and knows the scheme more or less.

He was a very excellent player coming out. Very fast and productive. I'm not sure where he is at now. He's older now. I have not followed his career much. But he was impressive coming out of College.

Nice insurance move until we can get some guys back if the young guys can't step up

One thing strange was when he was at his prime.....Sean Payton, Bilicheck, and McVay all choose to ship him out of their team.

glad we didn't overreact

we need to save the big trades for DL
