Per several reports.

Oh he was one of the guys available I thought was a fit for us. Would be a good signing imo. Not much pass rush juice, but will hold the edge the way we like our guys to

He missed a good chunk of 2024 iirc

Paschal replacement as depth guy IMO

I think he’ll definitely be part of the rotation if he’s healthy, maybe an early down guy.

Only 28. Fine lunchpail guy. We need bodies.

Interesting to me how we hear nothing about visits anymore until week 2. Everyone signs early on zoom or tampering the ■■■■ out of it.

And then the visit rumors start week 2.

Complete yawn fest.

I agree. We need bodies! We have two true DEs on the roster right now. Not good enough.

If we sign Wonnum does that mean we won’t get Cam Jordan?

We need 4/5 DEs most weeks. Right now we have two. Two vets and a rookie works for me.

Trade for Thibby

Hassanein

Davenport 1 year minimum deal

Rookie

That’s 6. Id still feel a lot better if we can get Cam Jordan here and let Wonnum & Davenport eat some reps as backups .

Thibby as 3rd down edge rusher is my new dream since Trey failed me

No on Davenport i backed him last seasons an he did nothing. I would rather take a UDFA after draft an give him a chance

I agree I didn’t want him last year either but you know we are going to Resign him again

I thought you were going to say Paschal’s replacement for an injured guy.

Wonder if we view him as an Edge or big SAM?

Pretty sure he would be an edge. I think he’s probably playing around 265 or so.

We view him as signed. 1 year deal up to 6 mil
