People forget how good he was in 2014. He had 8 sacks and a int as a starter.

Agreed. He played behind a stud like jones who rarely comes out of games. I say buy cheap and see what he can do playing 50% of the snaps.

Re: Alex Okafor visits New Orleans

Backups for any other team are better than our current defensive starters, sign him.

I seem to remember him being one of their better players 2 seasons ago and he's only 26.
