    Yes. CJ specifically called him out. They have the same agent Mugatu.

    4.6 at combine. Solid but not “fast” by NFL standards for undersized linebackers-not that he’s super undersized. Just a little light

    Is he a Mike? There seems to be a little more premium on OLBs (SAM and WILL). But solid depth across the board on D. But if we can draft another player that can push their way into the rotation, I'm all for it.

    I love the under radar signings we've been making on defense and this is another one that should pay dividends next year.

    Would you like it better knowing it's a year shorter and under AAV in a year estimates are very low?

    It's a 1 year deal... so year shorter = no deal?

    He strikes me a minimum signing for $500K SB at this point
