Give Babin a second chance?

Babin was much better as a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB, but Vic Fangio isn't the DC here anymore, either.

Not sure about cap issues.

$1.64M. RT @Wade_Harrison If claimed, what's the new team cap hit for Babin? Original 5.5 or 1.6 balance?

If they wanted him, and he lasted that long in the waiver process, it would be doable. Of course if he did last that long, they might be tempted to try FA, and get him cheaper.
