Hey, it's just a tryout. He comes in, shows what he's got in camp, and if he's too big and fat you cut him and there's no harm done to your salary cap.

Worth a look in camp. It's not like WR Mike Espy is going to have a chance to make this team, so you might as well jettison his ass and bring in someone who may be able to provide some useful depth.

Right, and it's not like we're looking for a starter. You bring him in, work him out and if he signs you have the preseason to get him up to speed condition wise. He would be a great insurance policy down the line.

35 is not that old, especially when you haven't endured a 5 months out of the year beating as an OL for the past two years. Getting back into playing shape after being in playing shape your entire life isn't going to be that difficult. He's not expected to start versus the Vikings (or versus any other team) which means he has even more time to get into shape.

Exactly my thoughts. If needed, he probably wouldn't be needed until week 5 or later (hopefully never). Also, for the veteran minimum (shouldn't be signed for more than that), he would be a steal. Not to mention, if we got him that would prevent the cowboys from having him (as someone mentioned earlier).

Go for it.
