Took their starting MLB role over in 2021. From the local area too. Mid price FA, add another rookie to the group. And if you go on his Twitter, the guy bleeds DMV sports, he'd be a great fit except... he is a terrible middle linebacker (his PFF score was 42.6). Probably was playing out of position in the middle at 6-1 225. I'd be fine signing him as a backup who could play buffalo nickel, WILL and maybe some emergency MIKE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he’s only had one year as a starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 30, so not a super long term option but still has plenty of juice. Cardinals want and drafted Zaven Collins in that roll and will have to decide on what to do about Hicks who was the best linebacker on that team this year. He would be an under the radar quality acquisition if released. Good call. I mentioned him a fair bit in the 2021 FA thread, he was reportedly after a trade at one stage having been demoted to back up. He seemed to work his way back into favour there, but agree, he’d be a very good pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d do a pick swap with AZ and trade a 6th for a 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This performance was almost too good to be true: He's a game-wrecker and I truly believe he has All-Pro potential. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim489 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I feel Ron and co will over value the run defense aspect of this and we continue the piss poor pass defense over the middle the middle of the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think they have 5 of 7LBs right now with a starter needing to be added. Wonder whether Bostic comes back to split time with Davis at WLB. I just hope no Bostic at Mike next year. It's time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think that's a great resigning, but also closes the door on drafting one of the four MLBs that will be there in the first 2 rounds unfortunately, unless the plan is to attack that position. I just don't see how we can do that again this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMacAttack Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Mayo was brought in for special teams, I'd prefer not to see him playing defense but good to keep special teamers. Still need uprades in the linebacking core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Mayo is a ST stud. Great seeing guys want to resign with us too. He's really good against the run and a smart player, which will help anyone we bring in along with the other backers we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yep Mayo is depth and solid depth to have as your last linebacker. I don't think this stops them from resigning Bostic. Bostic can provide depth at the Mike and outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I see it the opposite way - that they’ve addressed the position with a semi-competent body in order not have a gaping hole going into the draft. Especially since Mayo wasn’t really in the mix this year, so I doubt they see him as the “answer” there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Quay Walker anyone? He seems to be a sure tackler, tremendous size for a MLB. Big enough to thump and quick enough to blitz. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvernon Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Yeah, exactly. I mean, look at this highlight video of his rookie year and you can see him at times "see it" and be indecisive and still make the play. There is so much that pops there. If this was a full season worth of plays, everyone would be okay with saying this is first round quality. If the position switch is needed as far as acumen, so be it. https://youtu.be/tb18djDL9o8 Somebody help me out here.
