Funny how free agency technically started today and yet people are seeming to be panicking about our LB squad.
At this point in time, I'm not concerned about the linebacker position group at all.
Linebackers are also a key position group for Special Teams. Schneider's group has a plan. They often pick a couple of position groups to double up on in the draft and create heavy competition. To me, it is becoming clear that one of them will be the linebacker group during the up coming draft.They were a huge liability last year. Brooks most likely will miss a portion of the year. Easily the weakest position on the team right now.

It's early. I'm not at all concerned with how it is all unfolding.
Maybe it's just me, but since players are able to change their minds up until they put pen to paper, I don't start counting anything until contracts are signed which starts today. Anyone can call it free agency before that, I just don't.To be fair, legal tampering is effectively the start of free agency, technicality aside. The top LB free agents are all gone. We need at least 2. There is some reason for concern.
I was Thinking the same thing Glasgow.I don't mind that they are blowing up the D-line and LB corp. Was so painful seeing them whiff on tackles and got run all over last year, basically couldn't get much worse. I think the secondary was find and I expect the CB's to keep getting better. Would like a cheaper long term safety to come in since Jamal Adams can't be trusted to stay healthy.
