Quote:Start by looking at who will be available in FA. Then consider how much you may have to overpay to bring him here. By the end of the day you may end up with a lesser LB at around the same salary.

The right way to do it would be thru the draft. But as you said its hard to find good LBs in the later rounds. It may take a earlier pick.

I agree...so u still have 2 routes: 1. Draft a lb in the 2nd or 3rd and hopefully pick up a josh Evans type player in the 6th or 7th and spend about what? 500k( Evans is about 450k cap hit this year)on the 6th and 1 mil ( cyp hits 937 k on cap cause of 4 mil in dead money) and some change on the 2nd and have plenty of room to do something in fa if we need giving us 3 players for the price of poz or 2. We pick another fa for 5-7 mil( still much less than poz) and use the draft pick the same way we would in option 1.... Both those sound better IMO than keeping poz for the rest of the 8.5 this year and 10 next.
