This "mystery man" who's going to be suddenly released without merit is a straw man at best. We'll be going 2-3 ILBs in the Draft, and we're going to have to ride them out as they mature in 2020. Teams just aren't going to release ILBs who can cover, it just doesn't happen. The only reason they would is character issues, or they've lost a step. I know for a time people were mentioning Deone Bucannon, and while I do think he could be a worthwhile addition I don't want to get into a bidding war with the Giants or another team to acquire him.I guess I should've put the caveat "within reason". However, we can't do like we've done in the past and expect the "hometown discount" plan to always work either. With the hope that Blake would eventually become the #2 ILB in the future, I'd be in favor of an incentive laden 3Yr/$8M contract. It gives us some kind of proven stability at the position in case one of our draft selections doesn't pan out.</blockquote>
