He is a 32 year old player who has aged out of the rotation in GB due to them having younger talent. If we could have brought in a proven vet edge rusher (who fits the 4-3) scheme, who has 3 sacks on the year for a 7th round pick, I'd have no problem with them at least taking a swing.
Nobody would expect him to come in and have 6-7 sacks the rest of the year, but even an incremental improvement could be huge. The Steelers wanted to improve their 4th OLB spot and it took next to nothing to do so.
