Dave Archer said that Babin is owed over $11 million due to performance escalators in his contract resulting from 30 sacks and 2 pro-bowls the past 2 seasons.

He's 32 years old and only plays from the right side in a wide-9 hand in the dirt formation and he is a huge liability against the run.

We would never take on that kind of money and especially not for a guy who doesn't come close to fitting our scheme. He's reported as being a malcontent in the locker room too, which is probably even a bigger red flag for us.

Not to mention, we're #31 on the waiver wire list. I doubt anyone is going to pick up his contract, so when he hits the wire, there's 30 teams in front of us who have a shot at him.

Needless to say, ain't gonna happen folks.
