Chunky who? Good signing if the price is right. I'm hearing 70-80 grand.
We cut one guy we think is washed up for another guy that someone else thinks is washsed up. I'm not getting excited about this move.

I disagree with you Andrew. I think this will be a big upgrade on the d-line. Thumbs up from me on this one.

Lucas, Wright, George, Romero and maybe another couple of guys at camp. Should be a great battle to see who plays next to Shologan.
