I'm surprised this thread wasnt started already,according to espn jackson has been released,and I know we need more help on the off line then the def line,but i dont see any good off lineman being released.The dude is old{35} but he has more tackles than anybody on our def line except for Carter,Carter has 25,Griffin has 19,nobody else has more than 10,Jackson has 21,I dont know why Atl released him,but I think he could add something to our def

I think we have decent depth on the D-Line. I'd rather develop some of the guys we already have.

No for a multitude of reasons, not least of which is the fact that I suspect his release in Atlanta was not because he was playing so great and they just couldn't stand it. Weight, attitude, performance, age, some combination of those and other factors. I'm gonna say weight might have played a role. Check out the photo of this guy. I know he is a DT and a run-stuffer who takes up space, but this guy makes Tony Siragusa look svelte. He needs to go on the Biggest Loser not on the Skins roster.

We have one of the top defenses in the league, so no. Although from what I understand him being cut had nothing to do with his play, which is still very high level.

Don't mess with the defense.
Look for some OL players for now.
We don't need a 35 year old fatass.
