    Does any team give the green dot to anybody but a LB? I'm not sure there is. And if the Packers had Wilson, it wouldn't be him. He hasn't been close to being an every down LB.

      Some safeties have worn it but usually linebackers. Quentin Lake for the Rams from the list I am looking at.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        They were AND could have chosen to stay tight. But instead they either cut or let walk a long list of former starters. That's why Mike Tanier and all of CheeseheadTV are having an argument over whether this is a rebuilding year for the Packers. (Tanier is a yes, CheeseheadTV is a no and they have a season long bet on it).
        Its not a rebuild because the contracts they shed were guys not living up to it and we are likely to have players just as good at the positions. Its a calculated gamble that the conglomerate replacing Gary will be just as effective. Rhyan with some games under his belt will be as effective as an aging Jenkins (or monk or Burton). The CB room will overall be better without Hobbs contract since he lost the slot job to Bullard on a rookie deal. That the Franklin for Walker swap is a push. That Morgan can slide in for Walker without paying Walker (which we wouldn't have had to do). We made some changes but I wouldn't call it a rebuild, I'd call it natural evolution.

          He was miscast in Indy's D last year and good before that. As an early downs guy who can play the run etc. I'm fine with him. He's not a coverage LB. Quay had the physical gifts but not the instincts. Gannon is going to have to use Franklin better than Amaruno did last year, but I'm not sure you want him in coverage all the time. I'd have given the green dot to McKinney.

          Payton Wilson has managed to stay healthy, which is saying something for an overaged player with surgeries on both shoulders and a knee. In hindsight he sure looks a lot better than Hopper, who everyone thought was a reach. I'd have been ok with Hopper in R5, R3 is too rich.
          He was fully healthy his last 2 years of college I believe and its not like he's 30.
