I think Hatcher just adds some stoutness. I doubt he will have any standout stats, but hopefully our D Line won't be a sieve.
Great news! And great way to describe what he brings, stoutness. I spent some time at camp watching him run some drills. For a 6'6" 300lbs dude he can move. And his explosiveness off the ball was very impressive. I really hope this is the year we finally start to pile up some sack totals.

Saw Hatcher doing solo drills during camp. He's HUGE! Friggin' beast. Great pickup. Glad to know he's healthy! Let's GO SKINS!

the hatcher signing reminds me of the cornelius griffin signing.
big DL guy from a NFC east rival, somewhat older but should still have 2-3 years of productivity ahead of him.
i liked what griffin did for us. not flashy (few Dl are), but playing at a level just below pro bowl and anchored our DL for a few years.
that is my expectation for hatcher, which i think he should have a higher ceiling and exceed.

Glad he's back.
Not the biggest fan of signing a 32 year-old defensive lineman for so much money, but the team did a nice job of keeping the contract manageable. And as long as Hatcher's healthy, he should be able to help for a couple of seasons at least. I'm expecting about 8 sacks from him this year.
Plus, the Kerrigan-Murphy-Hatcher-Orakpo lineup on 3rd downs should be entertaining.

Let's see if that knee holds up when the season starts. This looks like a boom or bust signing.
