McLaurin is signing a 3-year extension worth up to $71 million

I'm a little concerned about how slow Ron and Jack are to react to challenges. Last year it took them way too long to realize they needed to force Landon Collins down into the box. By the time they finally made the change our secondary had already been torched game after game.

I'm concerned they're taking the same approach with assessing their LB depth and with assessing the capabilities of the '11th defender'. I'd be very hesitant to count on Percy Butler or Ben St. Juste as the 11th man. They're promising sure. But I wouldn't go forward without a contingency plan. It doesn't make sense to go into training camp without enough depth there to consider yourself covered in the event we need it.
