Does not negate his age.

Quote:Defensive ends in the NFL typically start to show signs of decline in their late 20s, with a more noticeable drop-off after age 30. While some players can maintain high performance levels into their early 30s, the overall trend indicates a peak in their early to mid-20s, followed by a gradual decline. 



Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

• Early Decline (Late 20s):
  Many defensive ends start to experience a decline in their overall performance, including speed and agility, in their late 20s.
• Sharper Decline (30+):
  After age 30, the decline becomes more pronounced, with many players experiencing a more significant drop in their effectiveness and durability.
• Individual Variation:
  While the general trend is towards decline, some players are able to maintain a high level of play well into their 30s due to factors like exceptional talent, meticulous training, and injury history.
• Peak Performance:
  Most defensive ends reach their peak performance in their early to mid-20s, with their athleticism and production peaking around age 26 according to Sports Info Solutions.
  

Therefore, while some defensive ends can defy the aging curve, most will experience a decline in their performance as they approach and enter their 30s

You cannot deny signing him to a 3 or 4 year deal is a huge gamble with a lot of money.
