[Dback Jon]

I really like this signing

 

[Big Deal]

That was easy.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Wow! Does this mean bad news for Okafor?

 

[NJCardFan]

Should have done this a couple of weeks ago but hopefully he'll get into good game shape in time for Seattle after the bye.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wow! Does this mean bad news for Okafor?

gonna assume the worst there. I like the move... can't hurt at this point and I hope he still has some juice left in those legs.

 

[NMCard]

Hopefully he can contribute more than Weatherspoon.

 

[crisper57]

Holy hell. This is going to be huge. He only has to play 2/3's of the season. Should be able to remain relatively fresh. Just hope he is in shape. I'd assume he would be or we wouldn't have signed him.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Wow! Does this mean bad news for Okafor?

I think it can only help if we have both Freeney and Okafor on the roster... at least for this year.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Good news!

 

[Jake6233]

About as good of a pass rusher as you could hope to sign 5 games into the season. Hopefully another veteran who does big things on a one year deal.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Wonder how much? Knowing SK it can't too much.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Hopefully another good Keim find off the street!

 

[Buckybird]

Called it 3 weeks ago

He's gonna make our D lethal IMO

 

[BullheadCardFan]

We have needed a guy that can bring pressure on a consistent basis for a long time. Hope it doesn't take him too long to get in game shape

He's a street free agent coming in Week 6 with no TC.

I wouldnt say our D will be "lethal" He's not the panacea for our pass rush.

Probably not anywhere close to the $8M I had heard and parroted that he was demanding...

 

[Buckybird]

Had 40 pressures last year though his sack numbers were down, he's mucho better than Woodley

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Okay...we'll see.

Watch

I saw a TV show on him 3 wks ago how he was training his ass off for the right fit, he looked in shape to me.

 

[Snakester]

Good signing! Steve Keim is the man!

 

[RINGLESS]

Great we just got older and slower. Assuming this means Okafor is done. He might be in shape but he isn't in game shape. No training camp, no practice.

With Woodley and Freeney out there moving as fast as the fastest Sloths we are going to be having some big issues.

Those of you that are excited. You are excited about what happened in the past. There is a reason he wasn't on a team at this point. So temper expectations if you can otherwise you will most likely be disappointed in the results

 

[Mainstreet]

Sometimes I wonder why he was still on the market. Cardinals always seem to find some gem out there.

 

[unseenaz]

+1

Hoping for the best tho!

I hope Okafor isn't too banged up, need him on this team.

Hmmmm.... Freeney? Okafor? I don't mind taking a ride with Freeney for a while!
