Wow. Is he a better fit for outside or inside?

3 years, 39m. I like this deal. I wonder if it means goodbye to Jennings.

Edit: I like it if he's EDGE 2. Less so if he's the only edge rusher signing.

The Pats reportedly wanted to trade for him before the trade deadline, but the Titans' owner didn't want to help Vrabel.

More relevant to Chaisson IMO.

The reaction of a Ravens fan. A good sign.

I disagree, I think it's a Jennings (or perhaps Landry) move.

Not complaining, exactly, but a little frustrating that this team seems to have a much easier time bringing in defensive talent than offensive.

Great first move. 7 sacks & 50+ pressures and he was playing next to nobody on the Ravens. An EDGE2 that you could get away with as EDGE1 if you had to next to Williams & Barmore. An upgrade over Chaisson.

Jones
Williams
Barmore
Ponder/Landry

Spillane
Elliss

Gonzalez
Davis
Jones

?
Woodson

Probably the 3rd best defense behind the Texans/Seahawks as we start FA. They need a FS and then draft another EDGE but otherwise they are in good shape.

A poor man Milton Williams, should be a rotational rusher here.

Honestly I know little about him. Seems a lot of $$ for career high 7.5 sacks

Was expecting to get younger, but he'll do. Probably gonna replace Chaisson.

Not really when you consider the premiere rushers in the league are getting 40mil a year now

I think offensive talent is overpriced in free agency.

I like building FA's on defense, and offense in the draft.

Wait for the guaranteed money to come out, it’s probably not that much.
