If its VERY cheap, what the hey , give em' a shot. Personally, I"m not that dissapointed with how our dline has played thusfar. We have had a couple decent surpises in Warner and Sa'alve , and if I'm not mistaken, Dainels hasent even played yet. I mean were not gonna be the Panthers or anything, but I still think were gonna be soild with what we have.

Here are his career stats. They're actually not that bad, but like I said he isn't 100%.

we have enough 'veteran' pass rushers at the tail end of their careers, another one won't increase our sack total. we know who to call if one gets hurt though.

next season we need the best PROVEN youngish free agent DE available. period. a high draft pick is no guarantee. anyone know who's contract is up?

Whats up with Jermaine Haley? He's been quiet throughout the preseason. Has he even played?

Brackens is injured RIGHT NOW. He hasn't been able to prctice with the Jags. That doesn't sound like a guy Gibbs would snap up. I think Williams feels pretty good about the D, but you never know...

just stating a fact, not reason to sign him, but 8 FF is unheard of

Brackens has had some great seasons, but he tore his calf muscle this summer had his right knee scoped (again) this past off season and had his left knee surgically repaired before last season...given the status of the Jags d-line I would imagine they have been hoping to bring him back, but it looks like he's done.

haha, ok so ade at starting end it is...

On a more serious note, I woulndt even try him out. For the first time in years it acutally looks like our defense is playing as a team, and Id personally for once like to just keep the team and let them learn to play together.
