It just takes valuable coaching attention away from Rocky and Chris Clemons. And for what, a marginal upgrade (if any) over the guys we have?

Because he's a leader on the field. Rocky and Clemons would learn a LOT from him. Hell, maybe even Marcus Washington could learn some things.
The guy has a burning desire to win a superbowl. View it as a good thing that he's interested in coming here, it must mean he thinks we're on the brink of greatness.
I do agree with you, the injuries are a factor. However if we use him the right way, special packages, situations and such, I think he can contribute well and stay healthy all the way through.
The main thing is that if we were to sign him, it wouldn't be viewed as a major focal point of our defense and he's not trying to set a stupid record (Bruce Smith). He'd be here to help put us over the top, that's what matters most.
