They tried to address the LB situation last year with FA Hawthorne and Chamberlin, both guys got hurt so we still havent seen what we got with them. Do they wait another year to see what they can do when healthy? Not sure.

Chamberlain back no doubt to me cuz he's cheap enough ($1mil). He wasn't counted on to be a starter but more of a ST & role player.

Hawthorne back IMO cuz A.) methinks he still isn't 100% healthy towards performance grading, B.) it's his first time doing SLB (maybe WLB next yr), and it would be cap prohibitive to cut him (app $9.5mil in accelerated bonuses)

Vilma is the big question. Love his leadership but he's gotta re-do to stay. Less than $2mil hit to save $4.8mil in cap as stands now. I'll be disappointed if he carries $6.5mil of our cap in '13.
