Willis has barely played this year. Didn't fit what Gruden wants with scheme and all, is what's being said.
It'd be interesting to see the pressures/sacks per snap numbers for both.
I'd say a guy with 39.5 career sacks in 7 seasons is at least worth kicking the tires on. Especially when scheme/salary played more into his release than regression in skills.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
