As has been talked about on the other thread, this is a really nice signing.

How is this even possible? I got it from multiple sources that the off-season ended immediately after Revis bolted!

Good player. Good start.

Great Signing, now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!!

YES!! MY DRAFT BINKY IS HERE!!!!!

Honestly could start over Chandler or Ninko. Great run defender/underrated pass rusher and young. Had his best season pass rushing wise from 4-3 DE.

Awesome deal!

Excellent work.

But.. but... Bill Belichick screwed Free Agency on Day 1. I can't stand it!

Now let's get Michael Johnson and Nick Fairley or Rubin.
What is CJ Spiller and Percy Harvin doing lately

This is a really smart signing. A typical somewhat under the radar move that will pay off really well for us.
Great move!

I actually hope they still bring Ayers back too but I am really happy about this signing....Sheard was underutilized in Cleveland and I think will flourish into a 10+ sack backer/tweener and plays well against the run

This is your 2015 version of La Fell right here folks......low key and BIG dividends

Yes!!! We signed a guy whose stats declined each year since he's been in the league !!! Great !!

Now Fairley, Ellis, Rubin or Pot Roast...

Jones needs to step up next year.

Bowl!

Happy to have him. Looking at the contract, could be another one year rental.

@MikeReiss: Patriots were in sub defense 73.5 percent of the time & DE/OLB Jabaal Sheard adds versatile piece in front seven. Has three-down potential.

@OliverBThomas: Jabaal Sheard played 4-3 end when he led the Browns in sacks and forced fumbles in 2011. Former second-round pick out of Pittsburgh.

Pass rush. Pass rush. Pass rush.

Excellent!
