Marshall's contract alone is almost $1M more then the combined contracts of Barrington, Ryan and Bradford.  Not saying that salary guarantees performance, but its obvious to me that the Packers have tried to fill the ILB as cheaply as possible in the past several year and it shows.  I don't see your logic about moving Matthews.  You are admitting that the ILB position sucked and the only way to even attempt to fix it was to move your highest paid defensive player out of his natural position.  I understood the move....short term, but 2 years? If we become short handed at TE, do we temporarily move Jordy into the position, because we have better back-up WR's then TE's?  Maybe for a game, but not after you have had time to address the problem.So you are right, maybe the ILB is a position of least importance and the Packers actions over the last few years seem to be backing up your opinion, but IMO if that doesn't change to some extent, we are going to keep seeing the efforts of the other 9 guys on the field undermined by the mistakes being made by our ILB's.</blockquote>
