Where would the Bolts want to play Osi? Would they line him up at defensive end and give competition to the rookie or Luis Castillo. OR would they be looking to line him up as an outside linebacker so that he can chase after the quarterback. He could line up with Shaun Phillips and form a fierce pass rushing duo.

Even though we are rumored to be interested, how could we support Larry English, Antwan Barnes and Travis LaBoy at that position? Also at defensive end we have Corey Liuget, Luis Castillo and Jacques Cesaire. I just don’t see a spot for him on the roster and we still have a hole in the middle of our defense at middle linebacker. Osi would be looking for a contract extension as well and I don’t see that happening.

It would be a great move to bring in the pass rusher, but there seems to be other holes to fill first.
