I'd rather bring in a young player with potential than waste $$$ on him. Or sign a JAG for less money that can easily do what he does.
Plenty of players have made careers in the NFL playing like Zaven. Guys like Samson Ebukam who'd been a career 50% snap guy and 4 sacks. Until last year, in his 7th year, he had 9 sacks.
Guys like Brandon Graham have had 14 years in the league averaging just over 5 sacks. Or Derreck Barnett who averages less than 4 sacks a year over 7 years.
Barnett got 2 years at $7m APY in 2022 in a similar role to Zaven.
Got to give him a break too. He was dropped into a new position just last year while also having to learn a new scheme. I'm actually optimistic for him this year. I think he might surprise.
