Linebacker (5): Jon Bostic, Jamin Davis (R), Cole Holcomb, Khaleke Hudson, Jarred Norris

Jon Bostic, Jamin Davis, and Cole Holcomb are your Week 1 starters at linebacker. Khaleke Hudson will rotate in as needed, and maybe even more so depending on potential matchups on any given week.

Jared Norris takes the fifth and final spot over other roster hopefuls such as David Mayo, Jordan Kunaszyk, and Justin Phillips. Norris will be expected to contribute heavily on special teams in order to keep his spot. The drop off between starters and backups is noticeable, and honestly quite concerning.

Depending on who might be available after cuts start coming from around the league, the Football Team could definitely use an upgrade at linebacker to further strengthen an already strong defense.
