Think it’s a solid signing outside of Wilson we basically have no linebackers with Pratt in limbo. Lou used a lot of 5 man fronts vs heavy formations . I’ve heard Golden likes 4 man fronts with 3 backers so we need bodies there.

Burks played very well last season when he was moved into the starting lineup due to injury. He also has been asure tackler his whole career. Good pickup.

Who knows here. James Harrison, different type of LB, didn’t break out until his age 29 season. This guy was dominant in the playoffs and the Eagles fans are not happy to see him go. Like Vic Fangio, Al Golden started as a LB coach, so there is that parallel where maybe they see something in him others don’t.
Most likely backup, but it could happen.

Banks isn't getting paid enough to really determine what this signing means however don't forget the great post season run from Nick Scott and how that turned out...
