I was thinking about free agency and I decided to look up the free agents for this offseason. I wondered if we would switch to a 3-4 defense or remain a 4-3. Either way I think we should pursue a big name linebacker and when i say linebacker I mean a linebacker, not a defensive end turned into one. Here are a few names that sounded interesting, tell me what you think. I will put their 2011 stats below their names.
