[Rivera] brought Kuechly to talk to his linebackers over the Memorial Day weekend.

What did Kuechly say to WFT’s linebackers?

According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, he spoke of the importance of being able to play all three linebacker spots — something Rivera has stressed since Washington selected Davis in April.

 

Hope Luke was wearing a Panther shirt.

Some will be butthurt but they shouldn't be. 

Ron was Luke's Coach all but the final few games of his career. He grew up in the league with Rivera as his mentor. I think he mentioned there were tears when they found out Ron was getting the axe so there's a tight bond there.

Say what you will about Ron, but the dude knows linebackers/linebacking. Even our backups went on to be starters on other teams. 

Good for Luke and good for Ron.

Ok?  Players visit sick kids in hospitals.  Why not visit a terminally awful franchise?  Makes sense.

Sure, nothing terrible or odd about this.

He didn't join the coaching staff, didn't come out of retirement to play for WTF. Just spoke to some linebackers during OTAs.

Agreed. No reason why you should.

I wouldn't expect anything less from Ron Rivera. Luke Kuechly was the best Linebacker that Ron has ever coached and one of the best to Ever play the game.

You may be reading too much in  that.  You clicked right?  Just interesting to know what people are up to.

Nah. I don't have a problem with it.

But given how paranoid people were that Luke was heading to Washington immediately after his retirement was announced, I'm sure some people will.

I honestly wouldn't care if he took a job elsewhere in the NFL.
