i'd look to pick him up. we will have money after june 1. we need depth at lb, considering the injury history there.

 

[Phinatic8u]

I’d pick him up too.

That's a very interesting cut and would be very nice insurance for our young unproven linebackers.

 

[bradmcnutt13]

I'd feel a lot better if we had another linebacker that has had some reps.

 

[CedarPhin]

Would be a solid pickup. Probably have to wait a week to have the $$$ to do it though.

 

[Burnt Reynolds]

i'd be down. hopefully, he'd eat up some of Kiko's snaps

 

[LordTua]

I see absolutely no reason why not unless he just completely prices himself out of our range.

I'd like like this pickup a lot.

 

[uk_dolfan]

He wont be cheap....

On the other hand; kiko isnt good, we don't know if McMillan will be the same player/ be able to stay healthy, Baker is an unproven rookie and Anthony isnt good.

So hell yes, I would sign him our LB group looks weak on paper

Can he walk? Always a red-flag in this league when any player that's been productive gets released like that.

The Eagles have been trying to trade him for years, they never seemed to like him much. Still a hell of a lot better than anything we have though unless McMillan explodes

 

[CedarPhin]

He'd solidify the position, I'd think. I hope we go after him.

 

[Phinatic8u]

He’d instantly be our best LB, not potential like Kwon, but literally our best LB.

Sign him up Miami.

Kendricks did have an ankle cleanup procedure but that's not why he was released. Outside of that cleanup, he's healthy. He has had a lot of nagging soft-tissue injuries in years past but I don't think he missed any games last year. He was cut for cap reasons. His salary was $5.9M which was simply too much for his role. With Hicks back, he'd revert to his previous 3rd LB role and the Eagles only played 3 LBs 25-30% of snaps. Kendricks is a 2 down player at most. He is best attacking either against the run or blitzing. He has the on paper speed to cover but just isn't good at it. Doesn't seem to recognize routes and doesn't have great COD. Still, he'd be a good pickup for a team for a salary more in line with the role he's expected to play.

But how much of that is going to the rookies? I think we need 7-8 million for them
