He is a bum but the Bears are desperate. He is better than Dom Rob. He won’t be anything long term.

I’m not against the trade for these reasons but I’m not going to act like this guy is any good or a difference maker.
$100 says you never heard of him before today.

He clearly wasn’t a starter, but I don’t know how much playing time he got:
2021: 6.5 sacks
2022: 9.5 sacks
2023: 5.5 sacks

That’s not bum stats. Shit Demarcus Walker is more of a “bum” than this guy.

Walker can play inside and contain in the run game. He is more of a complete player that has versatility.

Taylor will either be productive in passing situations opposite of sweat or he will at least keep the double teams from happening on sweat as often

Either way, worth a 6th round pick
100%. Was a solid trade. Chances are that 6th rounder doesn’t even make the roster next season.

No way for me to prove that. If this is your guy congrats and be happy.

Not my guy, but good value at a position of need.

Let's just say you've never heard of him but you have big opinions on him, no betting or anything.

Maybe thats the plan and why they wanted another experienced DE with proven sack stats. He clearly is a better rusher than Walker. So why are you calling him a bum?

I said the exact same thing, I’m not against the trade for XYZ.

That doesn’t change that he sucks overall lol. Go find an upset Seahawks fan, I can’t find one.

Let’s just say you jump to conclusions whenever you hear something you don’t want to believe.

This is where I am. If you turn back the clock to a week ago, I bet a lot of people here would agree that this team could use more than one DE to increase the competitive level. That 6th round pick could very well have resulted in a DE.

Well, how many 6th round picks are a threat for 5+ sacks on a season? This player offers that kind of productivity in rotation, so I find it to be a prudent trade

Low cost with some potential it seems. Only 3.1M for the year 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems ok if he can get 7-10 sacks

Chances are he was getting cut, but they need pass rush so bad they wanted to secure him.
Why would the Seahawks cut a pass rusher with production like that? Chances are the Bears could have signed him in FA.

The dude isn't very good. He seems horribly inconsistent. I am wondering if the Bears are just hoping to squeeze a little consistency out of him. I don't see him as anything other than a rotational player.
