    Seeing as how I've had to watch the Bears for so long I've been able to at least pick out some of the decent players that they have. Wootton I think could plug in to the other DE spot opposite Heyward and provide the Steelers with a pass rush when needed but also hold the LOS against the run. He was moved multiple times along the line due to injuries to others and was not a black hole. I think with his versatility he could transition to a 3-4 DE just fine. He's only 26 right now as well. What do you guys think?

    I think he's a good player for the right price, but I'm sure whether or not he's a 2 gap 5 technique. I see his still listed at the same 270 lbs that he was listed at as a rookie. I wonder if that's accurate, or if he's gained some sand in the pants in the past few years. 6'6", 270 is pretty light for a DE in our scheme, but he looks bigger to me now than he did as a rookie.

    He's definitely heavier than that. I think he's a good candidate for a visit, but not right now. He just had hip surgery.
