Considering his knee problems and ability to be replaced easily in our defensive scheme, I would let Crowder walk if his price tag is even moderately high. He is a fine player, but not a franchise guy I would like taking up a lot of cap space. That money can be moved towards WR and Secondary.
I tend to agree but I think he has some value in team leadership...he seems to be the D frontman. I'd keep him because I think it would be hard to upgrade at LB. I think he's a great second ILB. Is Bart Scott inside or outside?
