As it stands now, OLB will be:

Wonnum, Jones, Scourton, Umanmielen

And then it comes down to DJ Johnson & Amare Barno. I think Barno would make it based on ST, but they could still look to sign/claim another OLB for that final spot.

It does seem like Canales is telling it straight when he says the rookies are going to play a lot.

 

 

 Jones out produced Clowney straight up in everything but tackles in which he was a hair behind as a rotational guy.

 

Wonnum played half a season and did the same.

Not sure why I spelled in Wonham. Zeppelin maybe.

Anyways, if he's not a good locker room guy then it's easy to part with Clowney.

Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen. 

Injuries happen when they happen man he played all of 10 snaps last year and got hurt..

I think he played the whole game and his knee swelled overnight. Dude is tough as nails. But 300+ pounders shouldn't play as many snaps a game as he does. You're more likely to get injured when you're gassed anyway.

If he was a leader in the locker room he probably would have been retained. I think this is more about culture than anything

Any more safeties or linebackers to sign?

I would add CB to that list

He took a pay cut already 

That, and he can play NT & DE in this system.

That is the only reason I could see him sticking around another season (and the fact he already took a pay cut).

Still think it's just as likely as not he doesn't make the final 53.
