Hard to have a backup makes what he does when you could put the money to better starters in other spots. Our starting LB's have been less than stellar for years so why pay a premium for a backup to guys that are not that good (save for Burfict). It is like the last two years of Rey M when we signed him for $5M per year when no other team would have even looked at him.
You have to pay for quality backups because this is football and starters tend to get injured. If you just go with "lesser" players as backups, you are hosed with the first injury..... Vinney's versatility means they get more out of one player than they would 2....
