The only reason that he isn't a annual Pro Bowler is that he hasn't had a chance on a good defense (seven DCs in seven years does that) and his off-the-field issues. Yes, he needs to get his act together, but just cutting him would be insane. He should get a shot at middle. Anyone who advocates trading/releasing DJ clearly doesn’t understand how underrated he is.

I can guarantee that Von will surpass DJ in those regards by some point between now and next year with all the upside he still has (he may already have if DJ let himself go during these past 9 weeks without playing, but I don't know yet). Also, please don't misquote me when I say DJ is a more complete LB, not a more complete player. Right now I consider Von as more of an edge player, that is a LB/DE hybrid type guy with QB pressure as priority number one. I can agree with letting DJ go if he can't keep his act together between now and the start of next season, but I think it's ridiculous to believe that he can't take a starting job back at least at MLB and in nickel and dime packages since he's started and played well at every LB position since we've had him.

The only way D.J. starts on this team is if WW or Brookings are get hurt (knock on wood). Brookings is the defensive leader that D.J. has never been. He gets the linemen into the proper gaps and makes the right calls and reads. Personally, I’d let D.J. go right now. However, I think Denver will keep him as depth.
