Don’t know anything about this guy other than he’s young and 6’ 250 pounds or so. We have so many holes at important positions, that I like this type of fa signing. Ingram wanted to start last year or get a lot more snaps. That didn’t go too well. A rookie draft pick, later in this year’s draft likely wouldn’t be ready or strong enough to take nfl snaps. Maybe he can play ILB or special teams snaps? Idk. Smart if it works out, imo. If it doesn’t, no damage really done. Guy can probably tackle…so I’m in favor of it.

Just a backup.   Bush was so bad last year it seems we are exploring all options.   I still wouldn't put it past us to draft ILB pretty early.   

At this point he is battling for 4th on the depth chart.

Unless they are putting him at OLB, in which case we have no one beyond Watt and Highsmith right now.

He is 100% an OLB.
