Also, I guess he's around 340 right now, which is about 20 pounds over his playing weight in 2009.

Thanks for the link.
I think your guess is about right...though I suppose that means a guaranteed 10+ sack season. Right??

He does look a bit bigger than what I remember, but wouldn't we all after sitting that long? I'd like to hear him say how much he's been working out, etc in preparation to come back. He could really help this team if he's in good shape, or can get in good shape by August.

"Johnny Jolly". It's kinda like rooting for Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 34th Street".

Whether he makes it or not, since its not just up to him, others are vying for that spot too, but just being there and given the chance shows how classy the Pack has been towards him.
