He is a mediocre 4-3 DE. Why would the Cards be interested?

 

[Solar7]

I don't agree that he's a mediocre player, but I definitely would say that he's not a fit anywhere in a 3-4. Plus, age is going to start catching up with him soon.

5 or 6 years ago, he would have been an ideal project to switch from DE to OLB, but it is way too late in his career for that move.

Didn't Berry do that, switch to OLB from DE?

 

[joeshmo]

If we were a 4-3 team I would be calling them right now. Pretty cheap for a decent DE at only 5 mill per year for the next two years. I don't think he is great or anything but I do think he plays well but mostly consistently well both as a pass rusher and a run defender.

True dat.

uhhhh...no!!!

the reason is...without a doubt, the bears have a ton invested in the dl and after signing peppers the cupboard is bare..can't spend 5 million for him
