Yes.


Really, its not like the contract says he will only play one or the other. Apparently he will play both.

I was under the impression that it mattered as far as pay goes. terrell Suggs was on NFL network last year complaining about he wanted to be paid as a DE not LB.

The question of LB or DE doesn't matter so much for a rookie contract. In Suggs case, he was franchised, so his pay was dictated by the top 5 at his position. Then position mattered.

LOVE this deal. avg $4M/year for a top 15 pick, can't complain.

i'm honestly not expecting much out of him, dazzle me, brian.
