In 2023/2024, he started 27 of 30 games for NO getting 100 tackles with 6.5 sacks, 7 TFLs.
His cap hit was only 1.7m for 2025 for the Jags. This was not a move to clear salary cap.
My guess is that he is medically limited because those stats for a NT or 1-tech (depending of defense) are solid for the past two seasons. You don't cut an effective player this time of year who is that low of a cap hit.
If he passes medical, then sure! Our DT rotation could use another body who has starter experience. But, my guess is that he will not pass medical.
