Exactly how is $11 million per year expensive for him? As someone noted earlier, the highest-paid 4-3 OLB earns $12.5 million, and Jamie Collins is not my idea of an elite player.

There aren't that many 4-3 WLBs in the NFL anymore. Jamie Collins is not one of them, BTW. He plays SAM for the browns and was a 3-4 OLB before that. Bad comparison. 

Lavonte David was previously the highest paid weak side linebacker that I am aware of playing in a traditional 4-3 defense. 

He is paid 10 million a year.

So, yes, 11 million dollars per year for Telvin to play WLB in a 4-3 defense is expensive.  He's probably worth it in the long run, but it makes him the highest paid at his position to my knowledge. 

You really should learn to compose your posts without any condescending tone.  The fact that you are often condescending coupled with the fact that you frequently have no idea what you are talking about is THE reason why people give you such a hard time. 

Work on cutting out the condescension please, as a favor to me and to yourself.
