Looks like Luvu was a better pass-rusher and younger, but Josey can still tackle well.

Luvu was the 12th worst at coverage allowing 74% of passes to be caught.  He should bring more balance but is older being 29.  He is also familiar with Evero's defense.

Haven't really heard of him aside from someone mentioning in him in here as a prospective, but the guy is a dawg. I like it.

Intercepted Mahomes twice in one game I think.

If Evero approves I'm alright with it.

He's 29 though so we're just plugging in what we can until we can reload with another draft next year.

Luke Kueckly replacement

Yeah he is 2 years older than Luvu.  Luvu was plan A, but he went with Washington so this looks like plan B.

Evero bringing in his guys? 

[Jackie Lee]

It's really thin at ILB in free agency, was him, Lavonte David, Devin White and Luvu, and then you drop off to like Denzel Perryman types

I wonder if that's true. Evero seems to be making the run his priority which I think gives a slight nod to Jewell. 

We are going to suck rushing off the edge this year, but if Horn can stay healthy the defense can be serviceable with a very stout run defense and a lockdown corner that can take the best WR out of the game. Really need to hit on a DE/OLB in FA or draft

Luvu was a pass-rush OLB that had to step inside due to injuries. He was out of place and still made an impact, covereage or not.

Y'all are easily impressed.

But but Evero was in the dark and didn’t sign up for this!

please…Evero has a voice too in what he wants and Luvu was probably the only guy he wanted to keep.
