Wow.  In many ways , he's an equal to Leonard Floyd.  I don't know what happened to him last year but the two years prior, a little less on the sacks.    

2017:  47 tackles, 35 solo  2 sacks

2018:  48 tackles, 37 solo   1 sacks

Floyd:

2018:  47 tackles, 34 solo   4 sacks

2019:  40 tackles, 27 solo  3 sacks

And a whole lot cheaper.  This has to be close to a vet min deal but he's not a bad 3rd wheel considering what we lived with last year in Lynch.  It let's Quinn and Mack do the real hunting when it's needed most.  Now we can add one more in the draft and there are some decent OLB prospects even down into Day 3.

We also don't have McManis back (yet), so as a core special teamer and someone to push Irving for Edge3 is great. Also, he has the skills based on his draft status, so hopefully he can find some magic playing with Mack, Quinn, Hicks, Jackson, Smith, Trevathan, Fuller, etc.

Like Floyd he has enough athleticism to catch someone if they flush him his way.

Floyd is very underappreciated as he's a very good all around LB. Just not a sack machine.  Mingus isn't that, but he's a good special teams player who maybe in the right scheme can be a solid depth move.
