So I guess the question is? What's the end game for that 53 spot? is it to develop backup linebackers or find future linebackers. Either way what future do they see in Alexander or maybe the devil you knows better than the one you don't.
While we all like Guyton, we need a more legit back-up inside LB behind TB and Mayo. If we take Seau out of the equation, then who do we have? AD and Lynch might occasionally take their turns there but we need a more legitimate option. Otherwise, we leave ourselves quite thin at the position, and letting go a guy who knows the playbook is tough for a coaching staff to do. But you're definitely right that Alexander has reached his low ceiling. Guyton would be a lot more interesting to keep if it were down between the two.
