Packers release DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila .. Should the Jets act?

He's a part time player but has been very good for the Pack over the years.

 

we have no cap space.

nobody seems to understand this.

 

for cheap yes. not for anything near what GB was paying him

 

lmao that was funny

 

Ask yourself some questions.

1. Where would KGB play in a 3-4?
2. Why would GB cut him at this point of the season?
3. Who would he replace?
4. What cap room would be used to sign him?
5. Is making Brett Favre fractionally more at home a legitimate reason to bring in a player? And are KGB and Brett even friends?

 

Good post, why is it every time a player from another team gets cut there is a thread asking if we should pick him up? Regardless of how little sense it would make.

 

No way! Don't need the guy!:up:

 

Speaking as someone whose seen quite possibly every game he's played his nine years in the league: no. He's underperformed ever since he got a big contract (a few years back now).

The Packers pretty much had been reduced to playing him only on 3rd & long passing situations, not much else.

 

Have to approach with caution when a guy gets released during the season. Why do we need him anyway? Our front 7 is the least of our worries right now.

 

I think we should sign every player that's cut that's ever been any good.

 

Not sure if Brett and KGB were as good of friends as Favre was with guys like Driver but i'm sure they got along gret. KGB is an absolute class act. Great man on and off the field.

But no, the Jets shouldn't sign KGB unless he's dirt cheap and they really need another body. Knee troubles have slowed him down and because KGB is lacking in size, he has always relied heavily on his speed to be an effective pass rusher.
