''He has posted 20 sacks over the past three years, is coming off the best season of his career, and is an ideal fit for our 4-3 defensive system,'' Licht added. ''Experienced pass rushers who can provide consistent pressure and disrupt an opponent's passing game are critical to our defensive success, and Robert will do all those things, along with providing veteran leadership.''
