If VB was healthy going into last season the plan may have been to move Vinney to MLB or SLB to compete for a starting job. I believe there was talk of him replacing Maul in the starting line up at MLB.
I don't know where the "Vinny is not athletic" talk is coming from. Dude is 6'0" 255 pounds and very athletic. I hope this money means there may be a new Rey lining up inside this year.

Gotta be fair to Vinny that when he was usually whooped it was as a MIKE but...
When i say Vinny is not THAT athletic it means to do with his lateral play ability.
The dude has mad heart, very good straight line speed and can jump pretty well but he is not some crazy athletic
Linebacker that can hang with fast RB's or TE's. We shouldn't settle people. Nothin against Vinny i just hope the
coaches haven't promised him a starting position no matter what.
That would be a dumb move is all.
