After making the transition to Hasslet's 3-4 defense last year after playing strong safety in the 4-3 for the first 3 years of his career, he's become a more solid player. If Allen and Shanahan decide to not re-sign him, I wouldn't be surprised.

Then why wouldn't they have traded him before the season? If he leaves via FA we get a compensation pick, I would have rather have gotten something better.
