2 million?

We're out. We like our Quinton Bohannas.

Wouldn't expect it to be much half way through the year

The eagles signed them because they have two NTs on IR. If they hadn't signed them these guys would have stayed out of the league and would be retiring.

Agreed. To me, it means Jordan davis will be out much longer.

Don't forget Carlos Watkins

30 other teams didn't sign them despite the low cost.

Maybe they're not that good anymore...

Exactly and they will see soon that they are coked.

I think they will be solid additions. They will be asked to play 15-20 snaps and should be solid additions to a stout front.

They def slowed down from their prime but is an older Suh and Joseph and upgrade from what we have?

I'd say yes

In their prime Joseph was not a better run stopper than Hankins. Joseph had more pass rush ability but similar as run defenders.

Now Joseph is 34 and Hankins is 30.

Suh's effort varies. Nobody knows what they'll get from him. Tampa didn't retain and they know him well.

Joseph at 35 or Hankins at 30?

They were similar run defenders in their prime.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Natural born strength doesn't go away because you turned 36. These guys will still be a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Carson]

Joseph at 35 or Hankins at 30?

They were similar run defenders in their prime.

Hankins has been solid from what I’ve watched.

Joseph and Suh should be helpful and play positive snaps

Mickey, is that you?

 

[BubbaGump]

So why were these two studs still available on the open market? You would think with so many teams struggling to sto the run they would have been fine long ago. Kind of makes you wonder don’t it.

 

[xwalker]

Mickey, is that you?

As long as you don't call me Bryan Broaddus...

 

[Cowboyny]

They are washed, both Bucs and Chargers struggled against stopping the run and yet they didn’t resign either player. Kind of like Poe, Snacks, once they lost their quickness, their value became zero

 

[maryquality]

As long as you don't call me Bryan Broaddus...

Would NEVER call anyone Broaddus!!

I think if you look at these signings as roster improvements, you can certainly question the how effective these older vets will be, but the reality is they were signed to replace the 2 guys that were placed on injured reserve. If you think you are in the hunt for a possible run at a championship, you spend some cap money on experienced guys to keep up or take some practice squad jags just to fill the roster spots and possibly miss your shot. Time will tell, doing nothing was not an option.
