Keeping expectations realistic. Don't like recent history of injuries he has
He was extremely injury prone his first few years in the league, but he's been quite durable for the past three years. Injuries are a concern for any player, and especially any 30 year old lineman, but there's no real reason to be more concerned with him than with any other similar-age DE.
 
He's our Tully Banta Cane...hope he has a spin move.
Shoulda signed this guy

 
Another good side of this deal is that it will count against 6-rd comp pick Pats “got“ for Danny. So Pats were able to fill one of the most expensive positions with solid UFA vet signing - starter/rotational player - and keep their both 3-rd round comp picks intact.

I expect Hill's contract will cancel Bademosis's 7-rd comp pick . which means Pats still have 2 3rd and 1 6th round comp pick. With M.Flowers (reportedly) likely gone and posibly one of Waddle Fleming - there are a couple of 6/7 comps to get back (max awarded is 4 anyway)

So, yep, good day in the office. Flores happy, Josh/Ivan happy, Nick busy .. while BB still drinking his orange juice..
 
Not bad on a per year basis. Bill took the best offer and divided it by 60%. Done deal.
 
IF the eagles taught us anything, you can’t have too many pass rushers. Keep rotating them in and out and wear down the other team.

What the Eagles taught us is that the Patriots defense wasn't nearly as good as its ranking, and not having Malcolm Butler on the field is a bad idea when the alternatives are what they were.

They sure as hell didn't teach us anything involving their defense.
