I would say OTTO.

 

Hughes? I'd say LEO hands down. The OTTO needs to be able to cover. I really wouldn't want Hughes dropping back.

Maybe he meant, Orakpo at the Otto LB position.

Not Hughes at OTTO. Orakpo.

You're right. Though I don't think it changes the conversation much. I'm not sure Orakpo is suited for OTTO either. I think guys like Brooks Reed would be more what we're looking for as OTTO.

I would agree with this assessment, as long as we don't break the bank for him and assuming we can locate his eventual replacement within the next couple of years.

 

 

Yeah, he would lost around 5 million a year or less, not more. I believe someone like Atlanta might pay him more. But he does fit in our scheme.

I suggested this in another thread. He also should come cheaper IMO.

The cumulative post-injuries production on Orakpo is worrisome to me.  Unfortunately, he seems to have a chronic torn pectoral muscle condition, as it has now happened to him 3 times.  And, last season, a shortened one with only 7 games, he registered 0.5 sacks.  Given the Skins tagged him last year, he is essence was playing those 7 games in a contract year.  If Caldwell can sign him to a minimal risk deal, OK.  But, his injuries would scare me off if it is a bidding war with the Skins or Falcons.
