He is defintely servicable for that price

Wonder if they also dropped his roster bonus. That was the big issue. Iirc it was $2.5m. Have to imagine that's gone.
It makes sense to keep at least one proven vet at the spot though I hoped that would be a FA. He outplayed Lofton last year (despite Lofton's consistently high tackle number, making most of them after 5-10 yard gains doesn't help; we should have listened to Atlanta fans on this one
).
I still want him gone once we find a replacement though.

If they dropped the bonus I'm fine with it, even if he's just someone to have as depth.

Yeah if the bonus isn't gone he still costs too much.

One of the few linebackers on the team I actually saw making plays on the field.

For that price it's actually a good job to keep him around.....The pay cut will allow us to keep him for depth/leadership and be able to possibly target another FA ILB, and just because he is staying does not have any bearing on us targeting a ILB in the draft because Hawthorne is not an all pro or anything and he will not be here forever.

Because we don't have enough LB'ers for a flag football scrimmage?
