He's a good to great pass rusher, but its a lot to pay for a 1 dimensional player with 6 sacks last season.

Last season he was injured for nearly the entire season, every year before then he's been to the pro bowl and had double digit sack numbers. The guy has improved the rest of his game big time since he came into the league as well. Probablly a bit of an overpayment, but the Colts needed to lock someone up longterm on the defensive side of the ball.
