Why didn't we sign Sione Pouha instead of Pace?

With the recent waste of resigning of Calvin Pace it comes to my mind to ask why don't we sign Sione Pouha? Here's what he would bring to the table if he were to be signed

  1. He is much like Idziks other signings low risk high reward, if he were to return to his 2011 form we have our DT situation cleaned up and Kenrick Elliis will get the time he needs to develop. In the more likely case that he is just OK we could have him behind Kenrick or even Garray and allow Kenrick to play, Kenrick did struggle with injuries last year so we'll need lots of depth in the DT position. If in the case where he's bad we can just cut him.
  2. He brings leadership to the locker room, we've lost a ton of leadership in the locker room and we need some respected leaders like Sione to help fill the gap and support emerging locker room leaders like Mo Wilkerson.

Unlike Pace, Pouha still has potential to be very good IF he's healthy and he would'nt just be a camp body and a waste of a roster spot, hopefully we get someone to fill Pace's spot
