Well there's your problem. You set him as the bar. In that regard, everyone deserves a roster spot. Instead of comparing to 2018 Chad Thomas, use "average replacement player" as the bar. Is he there yet? Edited August 26, 2019 by ditchdigger That wasn't a sarcastic question, but it is the kind of question that you already know the answer to before asking.

He's made enough improvement that he's worth holding onto another year to see if he can keep going. If he was an 8 year vet right now, he would not be kept.

That one play where he set an edge and someone else made the tackle? 1 minute ago, pnies20 said: He’s made his way into being a rotational player. As the 5th DE, behind Avery and Zettel. With another year, he may even make his way up to 4th DE. Or he could just get beat out by a late round pick or street free agent. Again. He's been outperformed by players with much lower expectations. I don't see that changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be anything more than a rotational player at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They see potential that we don't, so as long as he keeps improving at a good pace, he's here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
