Pro Bowl LB for a 5th Round Pick

We trade the league leader in tackles for a 5th rounder! Our linebacker corps is paper thin, I like Fritterer but this is just bad. Denzel is a real thumper he’s not a great coverage LB but he is a damn good run defender and doesn’t bounce off RB’s like Carter.

I had no problem with trading Perryman. He did nothing while he was here and it’s obvious he wasn’t all in - not to mention the vaccine issue. 

That said, add MLB to our list of needs this off-season. The void left by Kuechly’s sudden retirement has hurt the run defense as much as anything.

So he turned it around in Vegas, nice for him. We signed him and he showed up to camp out of shape, unvaccinated and all around just a general distraction while not looking like he'd offer anything on the field. We got a pick for the cap space which was already sunk anyways, the trade was completely fine. We've made plenty of terrible moves lately, this isn't one of them. He was going to be cut based on his behavior in training camp anyways.
