Every team needs good EXPERIENCED back ups. No team can stay completely healthy over 16 games and having someone battle tested will help us in the long run. Especially at LB. We cannot let these past years and the trauma of Donahue mess up our pursuit of a quality TEAM. Will moves like this help immediately? NO. But moves like this get us over the hump when the injury bug bites. Just like signing W.Harris and S.Davis at corner does. This way we are not signing guys off the street like last year. Give the guy a break. This is a quality signing. Every team needs good EXPERIENCED back ups.

Grade 64 Expert's Take Slaughter is versatile in that he can play both inside and outside linebacker positions but he better at the outside position because of his overall size. He has good enough speed and quickness to make plays from sideline to sideline. He is an instinctive player who does a great job of pursuing the ball. He has good recognition skill, he reads and reacts to the ball and he has a good burst. He has good range, he does an adequate job on his zone drops and he has above average man to man skills. He does a good job of avoiding the traffic, getting around blocks and he has a good knack of being around the ball. He does a decent job of shedding blockers. He is a good tackler, will breakdown, wrap you up and he will seldom miss a tackle when he has the opportunity. He can be a disruptive blitzer at times. The problem with Slaughter he is undersize. He does not have the weight and strength to hold up at the point of attack. Teams will attack him in the running game and he does get off blocks well and he will get overpowered or engulf by bigger offensive lineman at the second level. He is a lot quicker than he is fast. He is very average in coverage. He lacks good overall speed, he struggles when he has to plant and drive to the ball and he lacks good change of direction skills. He is not smooth in transition and he will struggle when he has to cover the top backs in this league out of backfield man to man. He is not a great playmaker when the ball is in the air. Overall, Slaughter has a lot of ability but he has not lived up to expectation. He is still relatively young but he needs to take it to the next level if he still wants to be around. Grade explanation 60-64: Good Backup This is a player who is really on the bubble and only starts because of a team's deficiency at the position. ...

Depth is depth and hopefully it pans out! I just hope they paid appropriatly. Post 17: Are you indicating he has the skills of Suggs, if so why did he play ST and only have 11 starts in 4 seasons?
