He's a stud, but paying off-ball LB huge money kinda feels like the defensive version of paying a RB huge money in today's NFL. You don't really need a great one to contend like you do with DL and DB. If any LB deserves it though, it's probably Leonard.

Eh, I think Leonard is worth it. Also he's an inside LB which i can understand more. Probably also the leader of that defense at this point.

As a Steelers fan who has seen defenses completely collapse because of the absence of one off the ball LB in the modern NFL, I disagree completely.
