To be fair, he was pretty good and decently productive when healthy. He's had some serious injuries though.

Bringing him in as essentially a tryout/prove it wouldn't be bad at all.

YES!!!!

In all seriousness his healthy seasons with the Chargers he has 61 tackles twice and 83 tackles in 12 games in 2015. He's not Von Miller, but for cheap he's at the very least some depth.

ETA: He has never made it a whole season, so that's kind of scary, but it feels like everyone on the Chargers gets hurt bad (looking at you Keenan Allen).

I imagine he would be a league minimum 1 year type deal, if he can pass a physical.

I have no problem with bringing him into camp and seeing what he can do.

Is that the guy from the Sun that no one wanted to believe?

I told you the Sun is fricking legit. If he was reporting through them it wasa legit story.
