He makes some splash plays a couple of times per year, but he also misses tackles often. Last year per PFF, he had the 2nd most missed tackles among starting LBs. That is awful. He's not doing much better this year.
I just don't see him as one of the top 5 LBs in the league. But he's being paid like it.
He is now the 4th highest paid ILB in the league and the highest paid ILB in a 3-4 scheme. Interestingly enough, Barron is the 2nd highest paid ILB in a 3-4 scheme. The Rams have #1 and #2.
Not smart.
