Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 2.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
