He signed for 1yr/3M with a RAS of 9.71. That's a Saints FA if I ever saw one.

Scratch one potential comp pick off the board. That said, we probably need a LB now more than we need a 6th/7th rounder next year.

I always like to read what the fans of the teams we sign guys from say once we have them. This has been the theme…

This makes me happy. Also thinking about a player coming from that culture, that team had a lock down defense too.

This guy is fast!

So, do we think this guy is going to be penciled in at SLB or is he here to compete with Werner for the WIL spot? Best man gets the next contract at WIL/MLB?

He looks like a WIL to me, but I'm no expert.

We play two LB most of the time, so my hope is he’s next to Davis at the Will.

That's what I was thinking. I wonder if the team feels that Werner hasn't been good enough and this is either a wake up call or a sign that they will move on from him next year if Gay earns a longer contract?

Of course, it would also make it a lot easier to move Werner to MLB if Davis gets hurt or needs to be subbed over the next two years of his contract.
