His franchise tag was rescinded sunday by the Seahawks now that they drafted LB Aaron Curry.

Analysts were wondering if it wise to invest that much money into the linebacking core.

Would he be a good fit for the pats? To be honest i don't know much about the player. I imagine he is of decent talent getting a franchise tag. But at this point, besides Jason Taylor what other options are there?

I'm still very unconvinced that this linebacking core as is, even with Tyrone Mckenzie, will be enough. There are still talks between Leroy and the seahawks about an extension, and its my assumption that its his preference to stay put. But I think we'd make a mistake not atleast pursuing him. Especially with the chance of Jason Taylor opting to go to Miami.

Any thoughts?

P.S.- One more thought, the trade of ellis hobbs takes another 2.545 million of the cap. Not sure on how the cap number looks now. Especially with the number of draft picks we have to sign. Should be interesting though.
