Philip D knows the system from last year, and he's a BIG strong body who can do what he's asked to do in a limited role for at least this season. Don't see why people think younger is ALWAYS better. I would rather have Daniels then some young guy who wont make the team next year when JJ is back and needs to learn a system before he is even effective.

This. We just need a one year stopgap, and P. Daniels fills that role. He's not a pass rusher anymore, but he can still be an effective run stopper in limited action. He's stayed in good shape, and he knows the system. There aren't any teams out there giving away young talented 3-4 defensive ends with plenty of upside right now.
