With you I think you're just putting too much stock in his PFF numbers. I have trouble believing that a guy who just turned 29 is completely washed up. Maybe Laurinaitus just wasn't a good fit in Gregg Williams system? Williams took over in 2014 and it sounds like that's when Laurinaitus' decline began.

I think that's more feasible than his skills declining at 27-28 years old.


I think Laurinaitus would still be an upgrade for many teams, so he's going to be a starter somewhere. I seriously doubt he'd be interested in a depth role.

I wasn't really putting anything into PFF numbers. 

I was putting everything into the tackle stat being overrated, because it is. 

Tackles are like errors in baseball. Subjective to the scorer. 
Talking to some Rams fans, they aren't gonna miss him. 

I don't think he's washed up. I just don't think he was ever really that good. 
He's a volume player. He needs every snap to get his stats.
