I would take them both for depth purposes plus their experience and with them with no pro options at the moment I'm sure you could get them at a bargain price unless some other teams makes them a better offer at a price you're not willing to pay...

Dude would've had 7 or 8 sacks if he knew how to tackle.

Didn't they both sign UDFA deals with NFL teams? Pretty sure they have moved on and they can't come back anyway signing NFL deals.

Pyburn is in camp with the Bucs, just saw him on NFL network.

Like Jack, and they could do a duel set like Oregon did a few times with Grace and a D lineman. Z Grace packs that 245 with way more speed and agility. Theo is just a mean nasty player, and stronger than he looks - squatted 630 in high school.

Pyburn is a non factor in pass rush but he is a very solid run defender for a 4-3 DE. I agree completely that he can fill that Reliford role.

You take both back in a heartbeat, if they are available.

Pyburn played his role fine.

A defensive end doesn't have to get sacks or TFL to have an impact on the game.

Seemed to be overpaid. He was a starter and didn't do much in the pass game.

So we can all watch Pyburn miss sacks and tackles in the backfield? Pass

For sure, but Gooden was class of 2021 though so he was already a 5th year guy last year and this whole lawsuit thing was on the class of 22 if I'm not mistaken. He'd be my priority between the 2 of them if not for the fact that I don't think he can.
