Back in early March, our Craig Stout made his case for what he called a “luxury Sam linebacker” for the Kansas City Chiefs under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo: Cleveland Browns free-agent linebacker Jamie Collins.
Collins checks all the boxes for a 4-3 Under Sam linebacker. He would add some much-needed speed to the linebacker corps, and his versatility would give Spagnuolo yet another tool to utilize at his disposal. Collins’ experience playing as an off-ball linebacker also comes in handy in both a rotational role and as desperately needed depth, should the Chiefs suffer an injury to Anthony Hitchens.
