As fun as pretending I was talking about everyone?

I wouldn't. McCoy is far better than any FA LB available and it also fits a need seeing how our line ranked 30th in pressures last year.

Geno is the 3 tech guy here. McCoy will anchor? In AFC North?

It's like signing Julio Jones when AJ is already here.

Don't "come on Shake" me dude. 

McCoy played 48 snaps as a nose tackle last season, on top of 166 snaps as an End. He's versatile on top of being highly skilled.

There's a spot for that on any line, particularly one that struggled last season.

Why are we saying he's "aging"? He didn't show any signs of slowing down last year at all. He's 31, but so is Geno Atkins. Should we start referring to Atkins as aging as well? As for Ringo..bye. He was the worst Beetle anyway. Seriously, this is like choosing a practice squad player over Geno Atkins.

His stats are very similar to Suh, he just doesn't have the reputation that Suh has.

Anyways, He doesn't fit into their move to a 3/4, but he's a solid 4/3 guy.

The switch to 3-4 surely played into it, but the Bucs were also so close to the cap that they literally couldn't afford to sign their draft picks. Switching from McCoy to Suh actually cleared up just enough room for them.
