Ive thought about TeO. Underperforming early round pick that will come at a discount could be our guy.

Te'o is an interesting option. He definitely fits the description of what this team looks for in a MIKE. He'll be 26 this coming season, so a 3-4 year deal would make sense.
What kind of discount would he have though? Vincent Rey's level of contract (3 years, $10-11 mill)? Or Maualuga's level (3 years, $15 mill)?

I would think it would take Maualuga's level contract to land him. Believe it or not, Maualuga is tied for 12th highest paid ILB on an average salary per year basis. That seems about right for Te'o too given how he's not dominated at ILB yet.
