That's rich, but I'm sure there's an out if it doesn't work out.

That's a lot

Great leader, playmaker, good fit for the scheme...I like it. Now go get Earl and a damn edge rusher (or 3)

I imagine there are some good options/outs if things go south with the deal, as Paraag always seems to include.

Are the "DO SOMETHING!!!" crowd happy now?

Nope. I expect them to b***h and moan about the cost.

Initial reaction: That's entirely too much money for an inside linebacker who won't rush the passer or stop wide receivers https://t.co/1ncEBPN9t3

The deal averages $13.5 million a year ... for a guy who tore his ACL in October. https://t.co/WvnK772avm

Their prototypical weakside linebacker. The dude can flat out fly. He's precisely the type of LB they want against those dink and dunk attacks or those over routes teams use to torment this scheme.

I knew they'd love Kwon. I've got their LB profile nailed.
