lol.......  same here.

Looking into it, though, it really doesn't look like that bad of a signing.  He has 3.5 sacks two years ago and 6 sacks three years ago.  He's 30, but also only played two games total his first two years in the league.

I'm not pimping this guy as Warren Sapp or even say that he'll have that big of an impact, but I was liking Billings and swapping in Baker every few series to get a fresh body in there can't hurt, and not playing full-time should help keep him motivated.  Being next to Atkins should also help, which we definitely need to get his contract extension taken care of, too.

I'm still hoping we're going after offensive linemen, and let's hope that this isn't the usual song-and-dance by the front office where they think signing one mid-level free agent makes it ok to not do anything else, but this isn't a bad signing.
