Does he play OLD or DE in our scheme?

I assume DE?

i like it. I remember in blues FA thread, i had asked/pointed out about okafor. He seems like an under radar type guy who has good edge potential for pretty cheap.

He showed promise a few years ago but I hope they didn't sign him to starter type money. $2-3 mil per tops just because of the premium on pass rushers.

If we take a pass rusher in the first and Kikaha comes back healthy we should actually have a good D line with depth for once.

Seems like a good pass rush specialist with a chance to become a full time starter if he returns to the potential he showed a few seasons ago. Good signing if they don't pay him too much

This is a low risk/high reward signing that doesn't effect our draft strategy at all. I imagine it is for very little money and is a one or two year prove it deal.

The guy has shown that when healthy, he can get after the QB. His problem has been health and consistency. If it doesn't work out no big deal, if it does its a big help.

We will still add a pass rusher in the draft early.

I honestly was thinking of Brian Orakpo when I saw this name and wasn't very excited.

Just realized this guy is only 26 and could very well turn into a quality starter. Much more exciting signing now.

I think we are buying sack insurance

Support. I remember how much we, the fans, wanted him in the draft.

A great replacement for losing Edebali!

I'll take it if he's cheap. Otherwise, not much of a move other than depth I would imagine(and hope).
