Would he be worth it? Can he slide inside and play guard if needed, and will he be willing to back up Marv Smith? Because Marvel is hella good when healthy.

Would've been good if we didnt sign Smith..Or if we move Snyder to Guard(not advised)...Would love to have him though..

I doubt he wants to come here to be a backup.

I'm not sure...He's missed 17 games the past 3 years. How's his health?

Maybe he'll come as a backup considering his issues??

He's still only 29 (30 in August)...and honestly, what are we going to do if Marvel goes down again? Barry Sims and Adam Snyder?

I say bring him in for a physical...if he passes, sign him to a conditional contract.

He's getting interest from Seattle & Denver so far (I am sure there are more teams interested, but those are the only ones I've seen named so far).

I would be very surprised if we bring him in for a visit after signing Smith, but I'd be all for any option that keeps Sims off the field.

how old is he? is he over 30 yet? i remember the bengals drafting him and everyone questioning the pick, it seems like it's turned out to be a good one though...would he be better than smith?
