He's 30 years old, offered the Eagles to take a pay cut as they changed defensive schemes, but they just needed the cap savings of around 7 Million.

Could he be a rotational RDE? Since it looks like we will be drafting LT? Cry
Would love to bring Conner home.

Were they a 4-3 switching to a 3-4?  if so see what he gots...   We need a pass rusher from either the draft or FA
I'd be down with bringing him in at OLB. Cutting Maualuga and drafting Foster.

Barwin/Foster/Burfict would be pretty good.

Bingo. 

Then get Ryan Clady and Andre Smith. Move Smith inside. Take the center from Ohio state in round 2 with the pick you get when you trade McCarron. You're set pretty much.
I'm not sure he would be worth the FA dollars he will command if he is at SAM, a position that we already have Vigil and isn't on the field for 70% of the snaps. If he comes here, it would have to be at RDE.

I hope they at least work him out. Unlike so many athletic freaks on this team, Barwin knows pass rushing moves.

reports are he is visiting....  I would assume RDE  as he fits more as a OLB in a 3-4 if not
