The dude has been out of football for two years. This isn't the type of sport where you can be away from it for two years, then all of a sudden come back and play at the same level you were when you left. Plus all the baggage. Let Dallas or Oakland pick him up.

At his age if he's kept his weight in check & lifted to keep his muscle tone & overall strength close to what it was before, then he can get back into it w/some time IMO. He's not going to be an all pro in week 1, but if the skins sign him he's not going to start anyway.

I think the only way they'd sign him is if the staff feels he or Blades is a good fit at olb. Fletcher is the starter at MLB, Blades I presume the 2nd stringer at this point.

Well if we judge him by his past, I highly doubt this guy's been working out like a madman the last two years. We're just fine with Blades backing up Fletcher.

Every time I see someone cut by another team, I immediately log on to this site to see who suggests we pick up someone else's trash. It just floors me each and every time. I like what Cerrato and Snyder are doing right now... growing from within and locking up core players. We DON"T need to go back to scavenging the free agent/waiver wire for malcontents and has-beens.
