sorry, but I just dont see the need in another corner. Yes you need players, but with Rogers, Springs, Smoot, Taylor, Macklin, Stoutmier, Dougherty and who ever else we have I think we have enough quality depth at the position. Looking from depth standpoint our LB core is short. Marcus is a beast and should continue to be. Marshall is 30(not old-but not getting younger) and honestly did not play all that well. Fletcher is 32(that is old!) and Rocky is unproven. I am all for letting Rocky develop and get playing time. But when an opportunity presents itself to aquire a top 5 LB in his prime, I dont see how we can pass it up.
