Even if we do go with a 3-4, I think we would be about done with shopping for linebackers.

Plus, we've already given a past-his-prime, former Giant linebacker a shot. His name was Jessie Armstead. At times he was serviceable, but overall, I would characterize his brief career in Washington as less than satisfactory.

EDIT: Well, looks like the Skins FO disagrees with me. Read this:

"According to a source familiar with the situation, the Redskins want to sign linebacker Micheal Barrow, who was released by the New York Giants on Wednesday because of salary-cap reasons. New York hoped to retain Barrow, but only if he would slash his $3.5 million salary. According to a source, Barrow wants at least $2 million a year, which was more than the Redskins could afford before the Butler decision."

Is it just me, or does anyone else think we should spend just a little more time with the defensive line rather than sending more and more linebackers into Redskin Park?
