(6) Linebacker, Safety - while I'd agree we need depth at both, I'm not seeing anyone in Free Agency that's an improvement over what we have already, so I'd be cautious about spending there...[/B]
Nice try JP but Demarcus Lawrence is not leaving Deathstar Nation. Re-signing him will probably become their biggest priority this off season.

As for linebacker - in my mind, this is a GLARING NEED. We are thin & at one point, we had our special teams ace STARTING (Robertson) in the middle. A good indicator of what direction a franchise is headed, look at a their contract. Craig has helped us no doubt but he's paid like a 'back up'. We'll make moves here.

Moving to the safety position notice Hagan, Chris and Triman have mentioned Morgan Burnett's name more than a few times. Why you ask? ..

Consistent production
He can play the boundary, center field & also around the LOS
He's coming from a good pedigree (GB)
Level of play
Attention to detail
This would be his 3rd contact (possibly coming at a lower price and upgrade)

Kenny has graded out as one of the worst safeties several years now. Inconsistent, bone headed decision making, suspensions etc. Deonne Buchannon & Mark Barron's are also upgrades at the position IMO.

It will be interesting to see what the front office does with Kenny & how expensive he will be to retain but there are other options & upgrades if he does walk.
