I understand what’s been happening to him the last couple of years but how the hell was this guy still a free agent??

Damn, a hell of a signing but how many LB’s do we need?

He was actually solid last year for Vegas.

Just posted it a few seconds after you apparently and deleted mine. I know people have wanted him on this board for years. Was wondering why he was still available as well.

Instant starter.

Yeah but it helps when the defense is on the field for 40 minutes of every game.

I love this signing! Veteran depth, still a quality player but didn’t require any long term commitment. He still has a lot of talent, and he is probably elated to go to a team with a real SB chance. He has SB experience which will be huge for the young guys.

This is a win all around.

Hoping for the best, but not holding my breath. Last year was at least a step in the right direction for the first time in years

Just let him blitz as an interior pass rush specialist. Wonder if he’ll play teams. He can still scoot.

We DON’T want him in coverage, for sure.

We don’t want him making decisions. Which is tough on a LBers usage. It’s the Jarrad Davis quandary.

Jarrad Davis is a great comp, yeah

I wonder if this signing has anything to do with Rolder getting hurt?

Looks like Rolder will be missing quite a bit of time. What was that, Day 3?

White was so awesome in college though. Simpler reads I guess.

He was. There’s a reason he went so high. But the league has exposed his weaknesses and he doesn’t have it in him to overcome them
