i have seen the word dwindling or something like it increasing rapidly in these threads in reference to linebacking.

i don't think anyone here has expectation of hartwell signing on black n gold. that would be a blockbuster not only in on the field performance but as a statement by the organization that the push is on full bore and that another non playoff year is entirely unacceptable.

i reviewed the list. there ain't much left to be an improvement left- witherspoon, mark fields, fujita, maybe a coupla more. very disappointing, resigning hodge might end up an option! no lb outside of dj is a write-in starter in the draft. even if getting a couple of those, i question having allen as the old pro among 3 or 4 rookies and sophmores right in the middle of the defense. it reminds me too much of how the cornerback hole was glaring, year after year. every pundit, writer, and commentator said THIS is the need on this team. then it seemed to take years to actually get a high impact player. sometimes it appears as if they wanna show everyone they see and know things that no one else does, talent evaluation, decision making, etc. mayberry reminds me of that. a good guy it seems, talented with heart. but already is tabbed as slowing and hasnt been a fulltime tackle in several years. i do only hope n wish for the best but it is quite a stretch. is it possible none of the above fa lb's will end up on the roster? i am afraid so. maybe some no name or really oldster like mckinnon will end up signed. but maybe even not that. allen-watson-bockwoldt with 2 draft picks 2nd round or below with the rest of the no name cast? scary! we are not privvy to all the workings of the fo. there could be the turndowns. there might be some trade for jamie sharper on the horizon. it is possible. even if so, the odds are dwindling by the day.
