I hope this is more about Duane Brown than about any FAs this year.
Demeco was miscast as a 34 MLB. He does not have the size when the only DT in front of him is Cody. It wasn't fair to ask him to do things he can't do while limiting what he does (the OL getting to him keeps him from diagnosing plays and getting to the ball). Not to mention #2 ILB is probably the 12th/13th most important position on our Defense (behind all the starters, the Nickel CB, and the 3rd OLB/Pass rusher).
Good luck to Demeco and I hope he suceeds in Philly. And I am happy that we picked up something for him rather than cutting him.
And I don't think we need to draft to replace him. Dobbins and Sharpton were very good last year.
