Yes he wound up being solid for us, but that doesn't change the fact that he was kind of a "value" signing.
Teams weren't lining up with blank checks to sign Thomas Howard coming off a year on the bench.
Adjusted to todays salary cap his contract would be worth $5.4 million per year. That would put him among the top 20 highest paid OLBs in 2019.

No way you can call that a "C" tier signing.
