3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
