The #49ers are signing former #Raiders pass-rusher Arden Key to a 1-year deal, source said. More depth with some upside.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 21, 2021

This reminds me of 2018 when I was telling people to pump the brakes after Cassius Marsh's big game against the Cardinals(I think it was AZ. maybe it was Oakland). I pointed out how the dude's history shows he sucks, and the sacks he had in that game were low-quality sacks(ie not sustainable and not to be relied on). A few people chose to mock, ignore, and pretend Marsh had arrived.

this was his best move

I can't believe he's still in the NFL. Wow!

So far his highest sack total was with us in 2018. He's been underperforming everywhere else. Man do we have a great DLine coach or what!!!!

Demeco seems to prefer using him as an interior player in their nascar package on money downs, so maybe that's where he'll find success. But he hasn't done s**t as an edge rusher.

DE Arden Key 🔑 first SACK as a Niner! He was known for his speed, bend and get off in college but I saw him and Guice as top guys in the weight room each week with LSU. He shows that power here and leverage and finishes with a sack. #49ers #FTTB pic.twitter.com/ipvr8eYHiX

Well, we were hyped for Kerry Hyder last season too. He has 0.5 sacks so far with the Seahawks.

Two weeks in a row that Arden Key has won with a swipe from inside. Maybe they've found something with him as an inside rusher.

SACK! DE Arden Key with his first sack of the game and third sack in 3 games. Bosa helps take him down but Key got the hand on Lawrence first and it's credited to Key for now. #49ers #FTTB #ArdenKey #NickBosa pic.twitter.com/L6Cm68Kd9h

Maybe Hyder comes back next year for even cheaper?

Hope the Seahawks released him in the offseason. If so, we can easily get him back for cheap. Kocurek can put him in position to succeed.
