Dolphins sign Saints FA LB Willie Gay Jr. to 1-year deal

He was only $3M against last year's cap, but it's still another past waste of money and roster spot by Dennis Allen. When anyone is talking up Pete Werner as a way of rationalizing the loss of Willie Gay Jr., then that's a problem. Pete Werner does not scare any OC in the league. Ooh, we better gameplan away from Pete Werner, said no OC ever.

I don't think anyone claimed that Werner scared OCs or forced OCs to change their game plans. He's just a steady LB that is usually in position and usually makes the plays he is supposed to. He's an above average LB and happens to be better than Willie Gay. You would certainly like a better WLB (to the extent that is what he plays in the new scheme) and maybe that will happen soon, but for now, Werner is not close to our biggest issue on defense.

But, how many 4-3 WLBs in the NFL do scare OCs in the NFL or force OCs to change their game plan?
