Well, look at those who are griping.
It's no loss for the team to kick the tires. Maybe the change of scheme/scenery pan out for him. Maybe they don't. Worth a try to have a look.
Quote:Are u stoked about this pick up
I am stoked about this pick up. Werner was one of my favorite Seminole players back in his day. I hope he comes in and competes. If they can find a spot for him expect him to be on the roster this fall.
Whoever is griping needs to realize this move can only help the team.

He was one of my favorites too. He dominated at times.
Bonus signing him, someone with intimate details of the clots defense :thumbsup:
If he ends up being a back up, what's wrong with that? It gives us another player who can play the run at least as Yannick cannot really spell Dante on those downs.

Maybe if you weren't such a homer would you'd get why us realists see this as such a bad move.
In a vacuum, simply signing Bjoern Werner? That's fine, but all you teal glasses wearing homers failed to realize that we released soon to be Hall-of-Famer Chance Casey in order to make room for him on the roster. We gave up on a future all-time great (whose on his sixth team in four years) to sign a former first round pick who was miscast in a terrible defense.
I echo the sentiments of who say there is no harm in kicking the tires.
The Colts had another guy, Jerry Hughes, who was a bust in their system, went to Buffalo, then thrived.
Are the odds high that Woener would duplicate that here? No. But again, there is zero risk involved in bringing him aboard.
Beyond that, however, there is potential tangible benefit.
Yes we get Fowler back.
Yes, the team drafted three LEO candidates.
But there's no experienced guy there. We went after two guys in free agency that could have filled that role, but we failed to get either guy.
Woerner provides an additional body and more experience than Fowler and the other new guys combined.
If nothing else, he will ease Fowler back into the lineup by taking some practice/camp reps.
Would be so funny if he can revive his career with now being in a 4-3 defense.

Man how could we be so stupid?!
All the people that wanted Werner with our first pick...
Raise your right hand.
Look at the palm of your hand.
Now slap yourself. You're an idiot.
Remember there was talk we could take him at 2. Lol
Here's to hoping the switch back to a 4-3 makes him a serviceable player.

Awesome comment and great perspective. Werners stats in his first 3 years are actually better than Hughes. It's is not outside the realm of possibility that he could take a step like Hughes did. He's only 25.
Now obviously I doubt this is the case. He will prolly be first to get cut but man if he steps up like Hughes did we are in for a dominant defense.
Last time we brought in an underperforming DLineman from an AFC South team was Sen'Derrick Marks. Why not?

the only people that said that were the Fl St fans
To me if we somehow got 5-6 sacks out of him, that would be a victory.

I was one of them. I'm not gonna lie.
I think he can make the this football team.
I don't know if he can play Big end or not. But guys like Ryan Davis might be in a battle during camp.

I would take that type of production out of Yannick or Fowler.
5.5 sacks led the team last year. Odrick
