    Could be interesting depending on how much they would pay him. He is a pretty big risk to give any kind of multiple year contract.

    A player that gets hurt and then is suspended for 4 games likely used steroids or HGH to heal more quickly and thoroughly.

    Travis LaBoy was drafted by the Titans with the NY Jet's 2nd Round pick in exchange for Justin McCraphands......ironic isn't it???

    We need a reliable starting OLB who can pass rush; we've already got depth. Sounds like they might be looking to replace a certain over-paid backup....

    I mean we will assuming we draft/sign someone who can pass rush. Cactus would be a solid backup and I think Gladys could be a decent stopgap if he were staying.

    Travis LaBoy certainly isn't a premier outside linebacker, but I think if he stays healthy, he's a better option than Marques Murrell, Vernon Gholston, and Kenwin Cummings.

    I wonder if this guy has any value on special teams?

    I like the idea of the Jets working him out...

    I agree. If, IF, we can get him at minimum over 3 years, I don't see how that can go wrong...

    Since were so restricted in free agency a guy like Laboy would be good.

    He's had injury issues in the past and was overpaid by Arizona but he's a guy that can pot 6-8 sacks a year.

    Nice potential depth/TC fodder.

    I think that if he doesn't injured, Travis LaBoy can be a productive and effective player in this league. The guy's got a lot of talent, he just can't stay* healthy.

    What the hell it is worth a shot. He may even be as good as Wadsworth.

    Which is why I think TC fodder is likely.

    Since he's talented but injury prone, it seems like a pretty good idea to bring him in as a situational pass rusher with upside. You see some of the better franchises in the league build depth this way all the time.
