Adofo-Mensah noted that Blacklock fulfills a specific style of player that can help the team.
“We thought that was an opportunity to add somebody in Blacklock who’s got a really good pass-rush skill set, really disruptive in that phase. In the run game, also disruptive. So we’re trying to add that skill set,” Adofo-Mensah explained.
“That was a hard conversation with Armon – somebody who’s been here for three years, been productive, great teammate, great person,” he continued. “There are times in those meetings where how it goes, you wish you could take it back.”
