He's signed through next year IIRC.
Signed through 2018, cheap deal too,
$1,341,666 cap # in 2017
$1,416,668 cap # in 2018
Omg just saw the video, which is why I flew in here lol. He looks absolutely insane in coverage.
I'm really hoping our DL is so beefy we're able to get by with Ray-Ray as the SAM. I feel might as well leave Smith at WILL where he flourished in SEA.
Thanks AB!
Yeah, that would be ideal. A big portion of the SAM's job is to provide coverage, of which he's excellent at. But at his size, a lot of runs will be coming his way so he'll have to be able to shed blocks, sift through blockers, read-react instantly and blow plays up before they get started, etc. In addition, the SAM will most likely be coming off the field in nickel situations. So the SAM can stay pretty fresh.

I've been almost all in on R2 for a minute now. But NC, SAM can come off the field in the nickel if we chose to. But if he proves to be better in nickel compared to Smith or Bow, then he still has a shot to be a 3 down player. If your answer is well yeah, I just wouldn't want someone on the outside looking in thinking the SAM is purely a 2 down player.
TBD, he's a former S...he wouldn't even need to come off the field for a DB and that's a big advantage for us.

Base LBs: Bowman at Mike, Ray-Ray st Will. He's light and fast. That screams Will to me. Malcom looks more like a SAM than Ray Ray does, but can Malcom play it?
Our nickel LBs: seems pretty easy to pick. Bowman and Ray Ray.
Dime LB: this gets interesting. Remember when we started realizing that if one LB was to be left on the field, it should be Bowman over Willis? What if we see that Ray Ray is actually the quicker, better-in-coverage LB? Who gets the lone Dime LB spot?

Yeah, I've been saying the same...coverage will be the key for all three of the linebacker positions esp. the WILL and MIKE. If you can tackle and have the speed, esp. lateral speed to cover, you'll rise to the top.

A stable of quality players to choose from.
Man, it's been a while.

He was flashing right and left in pre season and for that first couple games. Keep your eye on him. Big time competitor.

Originally posted by NCommand:Last year we were running a LB needy system and lacked depth...he's now competing with a healthy Bowman a first round pick and a guy we just gave 26 Million with 13 of it guaranteed. He lost his chance last year due to health and odds are against him probably seeing another here again.

He outright won the starting job last year but this year, certainly an uphill battle which is a good thing.
