Vet minimum won't kill our cap at all.

Yeah this guy can't ask for a huge salary. And he would provide a little depth and maybe a few highlights.

I agree Danno. He is 34 and would only be a rotational player at best.

Well, could see it freeing up some of the Bunkley money...

I think he is more of a true 4-3 DT - at least he was with the Vikes - so I'm not sure how limited he would be in a Rob Ryan hybrid defense.

And I'm speaking of the years he spent with Minny without really knowing how he was with Seattle last season.

He will not cost anything but a vet min. He is from NE Louisiana so I figure since he is close to retirement he may want to stay at home. I don't want the signing anyway.

Unlike the draft, Loomis is actually good at making room and signing free agents.

C.J. Mosley would need to be looked at if we are still kicking the tires in the NFL FA market for DL.

then again i am kinda waiting to James Jones name linked to a visit

started 8 of 16 games had 30 tackles and 3 sacks. not bad for a rotational guy who started 8 games in relief. Probably worth a 1 year deal or at least for him to come in and compete for a spot

I don't know..........didn't see the one word that tells me he is worth signing.
Wait for it, wait for it............BEAST!!

I don't know anything about this CJ Mosley you speak of. I only know of the linebacker CJ Mosley, and you just confused the hell outta me. Had to look it up to make sure you weren't joking.

That really messed with my equilibrium, Hagan. Thanks a lot.

C. J. Mosley (defensive lineman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mosley was sent home from the Lions London game for Cannabis...

What about NT Barry Cofield?!? He's 31, 6' 4", 315 lbs. He's been productive, as well as a Team Captain, and would be great in a rotational situation at his age, possibly lending some mentoring to the younger John Jenkins...

And I think Zach Strief played with him at Northwestern...

How about instead of wasting money on d-linemen that are 400 years old we give the young bucks a chance? If they don't work out I am sure we can pick up these guys later.

Bunkley is a $3.1 million hit whether he plays or not. Plus the guy helped us with the cap, twice/

Williams would only be rotational, but isn't just about every DT? Vet minimum would be just under a million. I'd say worth it
