Patriots Unfiltered Q&A: Who replaces Hightower and what to do with the added cap space?

Why does Ja'Whaun Bentley get absolutely no attention when people discuss options at LB following the departures of Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts, and now the opt-out of Dont'a Hightower? Pre-injury he showed great potential his rookie year before being buried on the depth chart last year as a sophomore._ Mike Aboud_

I will address this in a couple of ways. First, I disagree that Bentley hasn't received any attention this offseason. He was a player we highlights earlier in the offseason on Patriots.com and many have talked about him as being the top option as a replacement on the inside.
