If he’s that guy consistently going forward, it’ll be money well spent.

Maybe I remember wrong, but I seem to recall him leading the team in pass rushing metrics for the last few seasons, just not converting a lot of them into sacks. However, even if that's not the case he's been a team leader with the right attitude and great ability for years. I've always said the team should bring him back, just in the past I hoped it would be for a more team friendly price.

At this point team friendly isn't going to mean the same thing it would have four months ago.

He may have but that might have been more of an indictment of our pass rush than a testament to his performance. He was good usually and occasionally great but it wasn’t until this year that he’s played consistently at a high level. I agree with paying him for his production this year. I’ll be a little nervous about him maintaining it coming off a contract year but we’ll likely find out.
