Exactly the type of player the Packers could use for depth and experience. Ted loves cut players as they don't cost a precious draft pick. Bring him in for a look..kick the tires and see what he will cost for a 2 year stint.

I always find it difficult to say anything about potential signings like this. He's a 35 year old linebacker who's been in the league since 2004 and has started nearly every game. He can't be far from done.
On the other side, he played decent football last year and certainly showed he had more left than our ILBs will, most likely, ever have.
It all comes down to pricing and length of contract, then. You have to hope you can either get him for one year or structure a multi year deal that gives you as little dead money as possible if you cut him after one season.
Then you still have to factor in the other teams. Dansby has chased money over succes his entire career, signing with the Dolphins and the Browns. The Raiders or Giants, for instance, have ILB situations they can upgrade and have shown to be more than willing to spend.
