acquisition?

I thought he played pretty well in GB's 34 defense, and I think he's 30 yrs old - which for a NT isn't too bad.

Also, as far as I can tell, he is unrestricted.

I know we're not going to spend much in FA, but I thought that Pickett could be relatively reasonable price wise as compared to guys like C Hampton, Wilfork, etc.

I don't know his situation, but I like the idea.

Did Raji play mostly nose for them, or end?

Only thing is, with so many 34 teams now, there are more teams bidding for guys like this. And I selfishly want us to draft a DL this year -- we haven't taken one at all in the last three years since Wade got here.

But I do like the thought.

I thought Raji played mostly NT for them, but I could be wrong.

The positive thing about Pickett is that he's also used to playing in a rotation.

But you're right, with so many teams running 34 defenses now, Pickett could be a hot commodity. I'm hoping we do pick up a player like him, however.

And he won't cost us draft picks, either.

I just think the demand for him will be to high. I think the Commanders or Bills who are going to a 3-4 might make a play on him.

Now that you mention it, I could see Snyder offering him $100mm. He'll probably go nuts this year with no cap.
