Tough roster decisions ahead.  

But with a lot of other positions in flux with guys we're actively trying to develop (CB, S, DE, TE, even RB) it's hard to imagine we'd keep 7 LBs.   That was one of the positions where our roster was most consistent last year.  We had the same 6 LBs on the roster all 19 weeks. 

Luke, TD, Shaq, AJ Klein, David Mayo, Ben Jacobs.

Even when Luke was injured we didn't bring in another LB.

Obviously the future of AJ Klein (in a contract year) could complicate things, as could wanting to continue to develop OLBs for when TD retires. 

But for this season, while there may be a fight for Ben Jacobs' roster spot, barring injury or something else unforeseen, I don't see us carrying more than 6 LBs.

I have a feeling with us bringing in these LB's we might be shipping out a LB. More than likely AJ and/or Ben...I would say AJ because he is in a contract year; to get something for him before he becomes a FA. I think a 4th rounder would be fair.

LBs make for really ST players.  Who know how they may develop down the road.  But I think it's safe to say we are building up positions where the talent is.  Down the road, LBer won't be a big issue, and we can focus on a RB or some other position.  Who knows, all of these players could fail, but at least Getts is SETTING THE TEAM UP for the sustained success.
