That is how I see him. A Gary Walker type 3-4 DE. Or a 4-3 UnderTackle, oh wait that is Okoya's crowned starting spot.

Poor Travis has been out of position since we took him.

And how will this end? We'll just cut him.

Likely. I'd be offering him to KC and Denver since their 3-4 conversions are not going very well and they have a surplus of 4-3 players who aren't 3-4 bodies.

When you mention KC and its conversion to the 3-4, I can't help but think of the former great LSU 4-3 DT, Glenn Dorsey. And he was a great player at LSU, which of course is in the college conference which is the closet thing to the NFL. Most rated him the best defensive player in that conference not just one but the last two years he was there.
Well he's not doing very good at KC (and even had a disappointing rookie season at KC in their 4-3 according to reports I've seen), man I'd like to give him a shot here considering how badly we need help at DT. But that's probably just wishful thinking on my part knowing how expensive he'd be with that big 5th overall draft-pick contract he's packing ?
