Arizona LB's in 2011 (1 Viewer)

[Warpig]

Saw this on Rotoworld today:

The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers thinks it's unlikely that veterans LBs Joey Porter, Clark Haggans and Gerald Hayes will be back with the Cardinals in 2011.Porter has declined this season and his salary jumps from $1.25 million to $5.75 million. Hayes is no longer a starter and is due $4.25 million. Haggans might have the best shot to return since he'll be due just $2.5 million, but Somers thinks the Cards might balk at paying him a $500,000 roster bonus. Arizona figures to get younger at the position, which means more of an opportunity for Daryl Washington and O'Brien Schofield, et al.

Obviously Washington stays as a starter. But who else would have a chance? I know it mentions Schofield but he has been unspectacular with a total of 9 tackles in 8 games so far this season.Does Paris Lenon stick as the other inside starter?I know there was some preseason fluff about Reggie Walker but the guy hardly sniffed the field this year and has the same amount of tackles as Schofield does in 1 more game.Here is the depth chart according to RW:ILB 1. Daryl Washington - 66 tkls, 1 sack, 1 int 2. Paris Lenon - 112 tkls, 2 sacks, 2 ints 3. Reggie Walker - see above 4. Gerald Hayes - 33 tkls (gone in 2011?) OLB 1. Joey Porter - 50 tkls, 5 sacks (gone in 2011?) 2. Clark Haggans - 41 tkls, 4 sacks (gone in 2011?) 3. O'Brien Schofield - see above 4. Cyril Obiozor - 5 tkls 5. Curtis Gatewood (recently activated from PS) Is there any gold to be plundered in this steaming pile of poo?

I would imagine Lenon, Washington, and Schofield... maybe find an FA. Schofield hasn't started yet so he hasn't been given a chance, but with Porter injured, he may get a shot this weekend. He sure put a shot on Stewart last week.

Schoefield is also less than 1 year removed from an ACL tear before the (East/West Shrine game), next year he will be an explosive pass rusher I think. The fact that he is playing this year shows his dedication and work ethic, next year he should be fully healed and I think he can be a beast. In my opinion it speaks volumes that he was drafted in the 4th round knowing this year was going to be a wash for him.

I have scooped him in my dynasty leagues hoping I guess right about him.

I think AZ might target an impact OLB early in the draft...since they will likely miss out on the blue chip QBs.

Washington/Paris on the middle, Schofield, rookie on the outside. I also agree with Hagans coming back. could see AZ making a run at Manny Lawson too.

I'm hoping Lenon stays in the middle...

while lenon has had a good fantasy season i wouldn't be surprised to see a FA or rookie brought in to push/replace him
