He visited the Pats earlier in the year and just 29....

Luis Castillo - San Diego Chargers - 2012 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

Chargers released DE Luis Castillo.
Castillo was just re-signed in April after visiting the Chiefs and Patriots in March. Turning 29 in August, Castillo has reportedly been discussing his release with the front office for awhile. The Bolts want to go with youth up front, and Castillo is looking for more playing time. The 2005 first-rounder has missed 30 games in six years, including 15 last season after breaking his leg in the opener. Jul 19 - 3:10 PM

Interesting. Doesn't appear to be health or performance related, purely business side of things.

If that's truly the case, then I assume we'd give him another look. We could really use the depth there.

BradyFTW!

He was good when he was healthy, can't hurt to take a look.

I would certainly agree with that. One way or another there will probably be a market somewhere for him.

There's also the thought that they may not have liked what they saw when they first brought him in too though, although we'll never know that.

you can never have enough depth at DE/DT.

BB likes the players from elite schools. Castillo is from Northwestern. He qualifies.

I still think our defensive line is the biggest concern. I know the secondary has the talent to play well with proper coaching and confidence. The physical tools are there. Our linebackers have tremendous upside for obvious reasons.

When I look at the DL, it is the most disappointing. You could argue the Pats dynasty was built upon Seymour, Warren, and bunch of other great guys up front who could rush the passer, stop the run, and make the rest of the team much better. When I look at the players now, I see a phenomenal player in Wilfork, along with a bunch of JAGs who we get excited about but in reality don't have the talent to make a great impact.

KontradictioN

Absolutely. He's a DE and he's a 29 year old whose release doesn't seem to be injury or attitude related. With the knowledge that we're still in need of some depth at that position, I'd assume we give him a look.

He has to pass through waivers, no? I can't imagine he will unless the deal he signed is horrendous.
