#4. I would not trade for him. Wait it out. I'm betting other teams are waiting for him to be let go. Then give him decent money for a 1 or 2 yr deal. Hopefully by then we would have his replacement.

Yep he is more of a defensive end in a 4-3. Id give him a shot at OLB though if the price is right.
If I placed him at LB id move him to WLB not SLB. Where he could make more plays at the QB.
Thats a good idea. I just really want Orakpo playing DE.
I wouldnt trade for him either. I honestly dont think any team would. Id give him a 1 or 2 year deal also.
