He signed a veteran free agent contract with Arizona in 2014 and started 40 games for them at LT until injury cut short his 2016 season after 8 games.
After that, he never played more than 13 games a season (13 in 2017, 12 in 2018, 2 in 2019) and zero in 2020 so far.
While not a high end starter anymore, assuming he is in shape, he will be better than anyone else we could run out there not named Castonzo.

I felt old when I thought "he was a 3rd round pick fairly recently" then read he was the 69th pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
