Yikes.
I'm curious as to how much we pay the guy? He may be cheap filler for a position we haven't restaffed.

Spotrac has Shanle making a base salary of $1.05M + half of his $1M signing bonus as in $500K + $500K roster bonus & $200K workout bonus, so Shanle will be making $2.25M for next season.

As for the other LBs Rotoworld has Casillas making $480K in 2012; Herring signed a deal averaging $2M for each of the 3 seasons he signed for, but he has some escalators worth additional $1.5M; Wilson is making whatever a 3rd round #72 overall pick makes; Bussey is making whatever a #243 overall pick makes; and Vilma will be making $6.6M ($5.4M base + $1.2M signing bonus).

Humber and Dunbar are UFA.

So, basically Shanle and Herring are making pretty much the same money upwards of $2M for next season, but other than Vilma's big contract, the Saints have very little money tight down on the LB corps, which probably explains why they've been so bad.
