How do we feel about our OLB's? I guess that I should also include Arrington, our designated pass-rusher. Many find this great. I find the situation a sad one if Arrington is our best outside pas-rusher
Personally, I like who we've added. I'm fine with Ninkovich and Cunningham. However, it seems that there is a real need for a top player at this position. This year it is NOT a matter of wanting to use the money elsewhere. Money was not an issue this season. We may have gotten the best players we could regardless of money.

We seem set for a couple of years with Wilfork, Haynsworth, Pryor and Love. What a difference Haynsworth makes to the run defense!
ILB
We seem to be set with Mayo, Fletcher and Spikes (who needs to an attitude transplant). Guyton is in his contract year and could stay or be upgraded. He has been a fine value, but we'd all like to see him up his game. Edds could give him a go, and is the default #4 ILB next year if Guyton isn't re-signed.
OLB/DE
Ninkovich and Cunningham are the "core" of this group, although Cunningham has been injured. With 6-7 rosters spots available at thes positions, it seems that Cunningham will be with us for a couple of years.
We have great hopes for new one-year additions Carter, Ellis and Anderson. We also have Deaderick and Brace under contract for a couple of years. At least one is likely to return during the PUP period.

PS player Carter could be added at any time. Warren could be re-signed at any time. Wright could be medically cleared. I don't count on any of these at the moment.
