Dude retired from the pats because his body is falling apart. Apparently he has put it back together now? Humpty dumpty style?

Raiders shocked me, when they let him hit FA the first time... he was too good to let go (then), but they disagreed, and coming off a season ending injury that year. But he once was very very good, I don't know how he has been in recent years.

Injuries have taken a toll on him, and after signing with the Patriots, he retired a week later because he didn't think his hip could make it the whole season. But he's unretiring now...

So....pick up a injured guy. Just what we need.
I guess it cuts out the middle man.
Hopefully he can play. We need SOMETHING to help.

Though some fans want to just sit him until the Vikings game.

Those, I don't know what he has in recent years...

There are certain positions, such as QB, OT, edge rusher and CB, that are extremely extremely rare to find a decent one during the season other than maybe via trade. And trading deadline has now past.
