Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
