I agree I think we can use this snag as leverage as well. Let’s tell the Jets/Jags that we’ll waive the 5 million in cash if they up the draft pick to a 2nd rounder.
He was stuck behind Suh and Fairley in Detroit. Production is low (4 sacks in past 2 years) but has potential and not a lot of wear and tear on his body
New Blog!
