For people worried about Krugers contract. There's only $3.86 million of dead money on his contract after next season so I imagine he'd be a lock to get cut then probably.

I've been trying to think of how to explain the LEO position. It's a hybrid-style defensive end who lines up in a two-point stance on the line. It looks like a 3-4 defense. That's because there are only three down linemen, but principles and gap responsibilities from a 4-3 defense remain the same.
