Former Raiders defensive end Bruce Irvin went unclaimed on waivers, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. The other 31 teams in the NFL were not interested in picking up the $3.8MM left on Irvin’s contract, but he should draw ample interest as a free agent.
Irvin wants to play for a winner, according Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, who predicts that he will sign with the Patriots, Falcons, and Seahawks. Given Irvin’s history with the Seahawks and his ties to Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, either club would serve as as comfortable landing spot.
Previously operating as Khalil Mack’s sidekick, Irvin registered 15 sacks between the 2016-17 seasons. He led the Raiders with three this year, though Oakland’s pass rush nose-dived after the scrutinized Mack trade. He played only nine snaps in Raiders’ embarrassing 34-3 loss to the 49ers, which turned out to be his final game in silver and black.
Wonder if the Pats will look
Pick up the phone chargers!
I agree with you so much. Great add until Bosa gets back and then have one hell of a rotation on the d-line
My thoughts exactly! Can never have too many pass rushers and bosa, while I think he’s an absolute beast…. that injury scares me. It’s one of those things that can easily be reaggrivated when/if he gets back. They keep pushing back his timeline (during preseason Anthony lynn said if it was regular season, he’d be playing…. now it’s about 2 months later….). I just feel like he will be back early December MAYBE (he just started running in a straight line, no contact, no turning on that foot). So he’s a ways out. Why not add Irvin to help a mediocre pass rush (now that Ingram is being doubled constantly), and be insurance in case bosa can’t come back or stay healthy like we all hope? Make the move telesco!! Do something. Don’t be that “we are good enough with who we have” GM…. saints, Rams, etc address needs to make a deep playoff run… they weren’t satisfied with their records. Chargers shouldn’t be either. This move would be huge
He’ll sign with the Patriots, Falcons and Seahawks? Well, this should be interesting!
I remember when Deion played a game for the falcons and Braves in the same day. Gonna be interesting to see Bruce play for three teams in a day.
The packers need him as an edge rusher now. They have an aging Matthews, and an under performing kyler fackell. Please go sign him
Da Bears! He can team up again w his boy, Mack!
Makes some sense and the Bears are closer to being a winner than the Hawks are.
