    An article on NFL.com has him as a potential camp cut because of the Colts defensive shift where he spent most of his career playing outside linebacker and now shifted to DE where they are overloaded with newly acquired natural position talent. Anyone know much about him? Would he make a cheap depth signing in case Bud Dupree or Chick struggle?

    A 5 year player with low tackle and sack percentages, single diget game starts he's a career 3rd level backup with little upside:

    Yeah with the gradual improevent on scrap heap depth signings in two to three years they may find a real quality guy.

    Alex Koroza alluded to this earlier in the offseason.


    It would not surprise me one bit. He was brought in for a Pre Draft visit in 2013. The interest was there then. No reason to assume the interest would not be there again.
