    I think it was all scheme. He isn't built to play de, he is a rushing lb. I think he'll get back to form and start for us and do well in 3-4 packages

    See, the thing is, him being "back in form" still sucks. He had nine sacks in 2010. Great! Too bad three of them came in the last game of the season when the Raiders' playoff hopes were long gone. He had seven sacks in 2011. Awesome! Too bad four of them came in one game against San Diego's backup LT.

    The guy just isn't that good.

    I wonder how many "legit" sacks some of these super pass rushers have if we apply the same standard to them that you just used to Wimbley. Not a dig at you, it just really got me thinking.

    How much did we free up since he did a pay cut? I'm not aware of the numbers from his last contract.

    I am very happy with this. Save almost 5 million per year.

    Very smart deal on all sides. I think they will give him a shot this season.

    He had stated he wanted to stay with Titans so him agreeing to the restructure didnt suprise me. He made about 15 million the past two seasons for very little work and will make 3 mill a season for the next 3. If he sticks, he's still making 25 million of the original 35 mill contract.

    As long as he records 6-8 sacks, I'll be content because his salary is small. Not like we're counting on him to play a huge role, nor are we any longer paying him like that. Just contribute.
