At worst I think he'll be NFL average with a decent ceiling. Thats better than what we've had lately.

Craig can now go back to WLB and thrive.

And Reuben Foster at the strong side

I'm excited about this guy.

To be honest I don't know to much about the guy. I hope you're right. Maybe I'm living in the 90's but 5 million a year seems steep for a player with less than 15 starts.

Kinda, it depends on how the contract is structured. We paid 5/yr for Curtis Lofton several years ago.

10 million guaranteed over 4 years (2.5 per year) isn't exactly gonna break anyone in todays NFL.

Finally, some off season news that doesn't suck. Other than some of the coaching changes.

I think this guy could be more than solid. He seems like a breakout player in waiting. It would sure be nice if he is.

Klein MLB
Robertson WLB
Anthony SLB?

enter TJ Watt in round 2.
T.J. Watt OLB/DE/TE Wisconsin 6042 243 4.65 #42 rJr
While SLB is written all over him. SDE could be a solid option also.

Need a cover LB?
Round 1/2
Zach Cunningham MLB/OLB Vanderbilt 6032 230 4.67 #41 rJr
Haason Reddick, WLB/ILB, Temple 6014 237 4.54 #58 rSr

Round 4/5
Jordan Evans ILB/OLB/SS Oklahoma 6021 232 4.51 #26 Sr

Need a project?
Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston 6021 240 4.65 #81 Sr
Duke Riley WOLB/SS/ILB LSU 6005 231 4.58 #40

The signing of AJ open a world of options. The front 4 has to keep him clean. Something the saints were not good at last year. The main reason I wanted Johnathan Hankins over Nick Fairley,

It is a solid start

I don't keep up much with LB'er speed. Is 4.66 slow? Shanle was solid but I want spectacular!:bng:

4.66 isn't bad at all, especially not with his size.
