That IR stint to end his season meant that they think Drake Jackson sucks

Just another missed relatively high draft pick in times they couldnt afford to have outright busts

Eli Harold was pretty damn good athlete. The problem is he had no clue how to use his athleticism.

Reminds me a lot of Drake Jackson, tbh.

For the price that we're being paid today, this was a great signing for this kind of production. We should have a few more in the coming days ahead. As everyone has mentioned, waiting to see if DJ Jones gets released.

It's easy to forget, but Drake is still only 22 so who knows? My issue with Drake is that he seems super nonchalant in interviews it makes me wonder how much he cares or wants it.

Floyd also has three more double digit sack seasons than Brian Burns, but Burns is still 25 with a likely higher ceiling so that is why his value is higher.

Burns probably wants 25 millions a year or at least 20.
Signing Leonard Floyd is a good move IMHO. He's a really good veteran. He's athletic, productive and he has proved that he can adapt to different systems.
He was good with the Rams in a 3-4 Defense and also last year with the Bills in a 4-3.
There's nothing wrong with that move.

Fun fact I heard on a podcast

Over the last 4 years only 3 players have more than 9.5 sacks per season:

Myles Garrett
Hassan Reddick
LEONARD FLOYD

and Floyd had less pass rush opportunities but he had health so that helped, but still, very impressive don't you think? For 10 million per season? Probably one of the best value signings in a while
