maybe....

You might be right and that makes sense. However, I'd love to see Keith Butler become The DC NOW and get our younger talent on the field.

Do we know Butler would put the younger guys in more frequently? Just playing devils advocate here. We haven't seen a lot of Sylvester getting playing time at ILB. Usually the first to go in is Foote. I'm sure LeBeau gets the final say on who goes in but I would think he would respect Butler enough to listen to him when he tells LeBeau "hey this guy needs some playing time"

Great news IMO. KB is the heir apparent and rightfully so. Don't think there is any need to rush DL's exit, just knowing it's yours when the time comes along with some hefty commitment money right now to show "we're" serious prolly did the trick. That's all the respect anyone really needs to stay committed right back atcha.
