He played 15 games in each of his first two seasons. Seasons 3 and 4 are when he missed most of them (played 11 in 2011 and just 8 in 2012). Looking at it, it hasn't been as bad as it seems. I would be really worried if he missed games this year, but he didn't and he still managed to have a nice season.


his knees are risky enough that they kept him out of camp and 2 practices a week this year, despite being a year removed from his injury.

that hes ended the 2 seasons prior to that early with the knee issues and was limited in this season (and publicly acknowledged that they were acting up but he was still playing) it would be a risky play -- the type of devalued athlete that can really pay off for a team in our situation though, if it did work.

rotoworld-
"Some teams" removed free agent FS Louis Delmas from their draft boards in 2009 due to a degenerative knee condition.
The knee issue has bothered Delmas throughout his NFL career, but he did play nearly 100 percent of Detroit's defensive snaps in 2013, and started all 16 games. Still, 27-year-old Delmas will be a bit of a risky signing in free agency. The Lions would still like him back at a reduced rate. Delmas drew offseason interest from the Rams, 49ers and Bills around in March of last year.

Whitner and Vaccaro would be a nasty safety corps
