Pass rusher is a position where you can never have too much depth. See New York Giants circa 2007 and 2011.

I would at the very least perform due diligence. How many games is he likely to miss due to pending suspension? How was he as a teammate - not what the papers say but what his teammates say. Keep in mind that Desean was publicly reported to be a bad teammate, but the locker room in Philly actually loved him and he performed). And most importantly, what would be his contract demands?

There is definitely a scenario where the value equation shifts in the team's favor. It's irresponsible not to explore it.
