Good point. This is a valid option, but I disagree LB is not overly expensive. It's just about as expensive as most other positions. Safety and TE are the lowest non-K/P tags, right around $10 mill.

Here were the tag numbers for each position for 2017. I expect it will go up somewhat for 2018.

Quarterback:  $21.268m
Running back: $12.120m
Receiver: $15.682m
Tight end: $9.780m
Offensive line: $14.271m
Defensive end:  $16.934m
Defensive tackle: $13.387m
Linebacker: $14.550m
Cornerback: $14.212
Safety: $10.896m
Kicker/punter: $4.835m
