absolutey not, he got 4 sacks against a bush league OT in dallas, he's hurt alot and HE's in his 30's. DE is a must. on the other hand he played great getting his hands up, and stopping the run on occasion. he played really well, but he is no force. did you not watch seattle though?? we even knew the pass was coming with no big 37 in the game and still no pass rush to save our ass and the few times we did we didnt have a quick enough lineman to stop him from escaping on 2 third down scrambles when they had the chance.

Dude, 4 sacks against ANYBODY in the NFL is impressive. You're delusional if you think any DE could do that. Plus all those tipped passes, plus he's a good run defender.

The team will have a decent amount of cap room, but I think it would be a mistake to go spend big money at DE when we have other problems at other positions. Adding a DE can never hurt, but it wouldn't be my first priority. Salary cap constraints dictate that we look at other positions first, IMO.
