Would be fine with bringing back Preston and as Cincy is his home town i think he would want to come back especially under a new HC and new LB coach. Haslett and injuries were what really held him back here last year IMO.

I think Preston played pretty decent, better than any LB'er not named Vigil last year.

Not saying much though, they were terribly bad.

We need to add atleast 2 LB'ers and hope Tem can coach up Evans and Jefferson to boot.

By declining, I don't mean to indicate that he's bad. It's kind of like declining from Elite to really Good.

He's a VERY solid LB and a steady tackler. Here's his PFF write-up:

Wright has been trending downwards ever since he earned an 88.3 overall grade back in 2015. The Seahawks linebacker hasn’t graded above 70.0 in coverage since, and he will be 30 next season. He’s still one of the best tackling linebackers in the NFL and has only one season with double-digit misses in his career (2014).

Here's another write-up:

Wright may be the most intriguing player on this list, simply for the fact that he hasn’t truly had a bad season in eight years with the Seattle Seahawks. With no season grades below 65.0, Wright’s consistency sticks out in the best way possible. Wright has never had more than three penalties in a season and has only had double-digit missed tackles in one. Despite missing a large chunk of 2018 with an injury, the 2011 fourth-round draft pick should easily find a home in the middle of someone’s defense in 2019.
