Just not very well at playing.

If this reunion is true, I’m not expecting him to come in and light the world on fire. Hell, he may not play a single snap like Kenny Stills last year. BUT, if there was ever a game to play him, it would be this week with how much NE will run. 

 

1. He’d be pumped to get back to the playoffs (don’t think he’s been back since that Texans playoff debacle in ‘19) and in front of these fans (hands down, the best in the league).
 

2. The Bills recruiting slogan is “come be the best version of yourself.” As others have said, in Shaq’s case, I think he knows that was what he had here. Also, he’s still fairly young, so he may be able to stick around beyond this season with Jerry and Addison likely gone after this year. 
 

3. Perhaps most importantly, I think he can help us defend the run a little better. He was always good in the run game.

I certainly hope so. DE pash rushing has been an unmitigated disaster this season. At least we know he sets the edge well.

Our DE’s accounted for 20.5 sacks.  Our team defense had 42 sacks, 11th overall in the NFL.  
 

Not sure that is an unmitigated disaster but we certainly want more given the draft position investment in the DL.

I thought I read somewhere that you can't bring a guy in after regular season to active roster to play in the playoffs. Did anyone else see that article? Can't remember where I read it. It theorized they could sign Shaq to PS cuz he's a great locker room inspiration, and then have first dibs on him next year to potentially play.

 How many times have you seen it with NE?

 

Guy has productive but not elite years with Belichick, signs massive contract in free agency, bombs out in new scheme, tries another spot, bombs out there too, comes back to NE and is productive again under Belichick. 

 

Love to see it happen here, its a great sign of success IMO.

will be tough to reach Spiller. Chan left him out in space.

Michael Stahan was the last player to see him when he flew past him in the Blue Origin *****. He said he looks happy up there, like he's really found his calling.

I saw the same article but it appears they might have been mistaken????

What I read was if you claim him from waivers you can't play him this year. That's one of the reasons why it was important that he clear waivers first. Once he cleared, he can sign with any team that's still in the playoffs and play.

Only if you claim him on waivers.
