Anyone Else Think We Should Sign Kamerion Wimbley To Take Freeney's Place?

4 years younger and still a lot of tank left in his gas, I feel Kamerion Wimbley that the Raiders released would be best suited to take Freeney's place and play the rush OLB role (ala Terrell Suggs) in the 3-4/4-3 hybrid.

Thoughts as to whether we release Freeney and sign Wimbley???

Here are his stats: http://www.nfl.com/p...2495985/profile

He is probably 10 lbs lighter than Freeney but I think he is more versatile.

This is if Freeney leaves, which looks like it will happen, but we can't be sure unless it's confirmed. Once Freeney is officially gone, then it's worth targeting Wimbley. He's very underrated and was a great pass rusher with the Raiders and he was pretty good in coverage. He'd like a big contract, but we'll be able to afford it with Freeney gone.

Uh I thought Wimbley was a raider his whole career

Drafted by the Browns, played well in their 3-4 as a rookie OLB before his production tailed off and he was traded to Oakland for a 3rd round draft pick. Curiously enough, the Raiders played him at LB in a 4-3 instead of his more natural DE and he still played well.

    • Bears went 7-6 over their last 13 games last season. They have a top 5 defense. And they added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze to their WR group. I know Caleb is a rookie, but he's the best QB prospect in recent years.   They should be pretty good.
    • Of course, I'm never compelled to instantly share my opinion on such matters of whether he is right or wrong...since nobody cares what anybody's opinion is.  I look at it from the perspective of an objective observer of how controversies get started and how the NFL gets involved.   I believe Butker is guilty of giving a speech to a Christian based college that speaks to traditional values..  Go figure...maybe he tailored the speech to his audience and not the general public?  But the fact that he said it with a microphone meant it got picked up by the general public, and so now it must be shouted down by those who probably chose to not attend a Christian college to begin with.  Weird that they feel compelled to get involved.   If I read his words correctly, what Butker actually said (to women in a Christian college) is that most of you will choose to get married and have kids,  And that when you do, that should be the most important thing in your life.  He then praised his wife for how she chose to do it.  Not much different than Lou Holtz telling men that when you become a father, the most important thing is to show your children's mother how much you love her.     Wow, what controversy, what extremism.  That it might be okay to be devoted ONLY to your family and God, and to choose to not be devoted to an Employer and the correct Social Narratives.   I think if the NFL says anything, it should support its player against attacks by those who simply disagree with an opinion, instead of taking sides in the opinion.   After all, Butker was not wearing an NFL uniform, or representing the NFL in any capacity...and it pretty obvious he wasn't.   I guess the NFL is still scared of potential shakedowns and must quickly issue a statement telling the public how much they are on the correct side of things in case there is the slightest hint that silence implies they aren't.    But its interesting to see that Butker's Jersey sales have increased dramatically.  Maybe the NFL should donate the money to women's causes since it can't possibly want to be tainted with money from such horrible and unpopular ideas.
    • I picture a plethora of 70 yard moonshots for tds.  Steichen can coach us to 10+ wins even with what I see as a tougher schedule. Can the o-line limit penalties, and can the D win the turnover battle?  8 wins is my guess.   If Gonclaves raises our RG play and we have a healthy season, 11 wins would be a great season.
    • https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40162983/scottie-scheffler-detained-police-prior-start-pga-championship   Louisville PD man... That's all I can say.
    • I think they win 6-9 games. So I guess the likelihood is less than 9 wins.    I just think this schedule will play out much tougher. And even a 9-win season would be akin to a 2-3 game improvement over last season IMO. So I think it's a 6-7 win floor with 8-9 wins, on paper.
