By all accounts he's a really good, high character guy and let's not forget that Edebali has not actually practiced yet this offseason due to injury. We need someone other than Gwacham and Tull in the mix.

From what I understand, he's projected as depth behind Cameron Jordan on the strong-side.

Tapp, 31, will battle for a roster spot and depth role behind Cameron Jordan and Bobby Richardson. The signing won't preclude the Saints from further examining the pile of veteran pass rushers cut after the preseason.

Gwachum is a weakside end...

I thought Onyemata was the back up to Jordan? I thought we needed another open defensive end.

Yeah that's what I was wondering too. Richardson and Onyemata are both strong side DE's behind Jordan. I thought Tapp would play the other side but I guess not?
