If by peck you mean pectoral then its a problematic injury for a LB.

It should be abundantly clear that Hansen was waived to make room for a vet LB. That could mean that the Tatupu injury will be somewhat lengthy but not season ending. A stop gap is likely to be added like Chris Hope.

I think Hansen was injured. That's why he was waived.

TD signs Lofa for 2.5 mil where we could have Curtis Lofton for 5 mil per . Letting Lofton ( one of our better defensive and most consistent players go over chump change can and most likely will come back and haunt us )

If it's a torn pec four to six months

Terrible signing. Already injury prone. Just start Dent.

$2.5 million.  You mean the amount we're paying Sam Baker?

That dynamic trio(Lofton/Nic/Spoon) we had last season could have been real special.

I've not been confident about the linebacker corp since that decision was made.

Sick beat both of us with what I think is the best answer at this point.

I liked Lofton, but you can't justify paying him top money that he was asking. We will be in nickel a lot and he won't be out there. So paying a player that much and won't be out there? If he would of took less I'd of brought him back as well to play 1st and 2nd down.

Plus I prefer my MLB to always be on the field. Wish spoon would move there full time. He will never come off the field. Put Nic at weak and Dent at strong.

I kinda of figured this. I hate bringing in the damaged, injured proned players.(a thing we seem to love to do ) I was and am still hoping that he is one to break the trend and get back to his old form.
