Give Babin a second chance?

[Joshua]

Apparently, the Eagles cut Babin today. While his play has clearly dropped off from last year, is he someone worth taking a look at considering our injuries? Admittedly, I haven't watched him closely enough in Philly to comment, but for late season free agent options, he's probably about as good as you're going to get. Anyone have any thoughts?

Wade's defense is a very simple one so we are a team who could catch a guy up quick. And our edge rush has not been good this year. If a 1 year deal can fit under the cap then absolutely yes.

Like Barrett said, if we can fit him under the cap, I'm for it. However, I'm only mildly optimistic at best about his ability to do anything without his hand on the ground. That said, Wade's pretty good at his job, and our pass rush sucks, so it's worth a shot. He DID notch 30 sacks in 2 years not that long ago, so I'd give him a look.

Moot point. He is subject to waivers, and only due $1.6ish for the balance of the year plus playoffs.

We are 31 or 32 in waiver priority.

The Texans couldn’t claim him off waivers regardless because they don’t have the cap room for his current contract. If he were to slip through and were willing to play for the minimum (and a shot at a ring) for the rest of the year I think they’d have to take a hard look at him -- only 7.5 sacks by the OLBs so far this year, and that's including Reed. Babin was much better as a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB, but Vic Fangio isn't the DC here anymore, either.

Nah, I'll pass. Seen a lot worse since then though I still have no idea why people want to put that crap all over their bodies.
