[QUOTE="sun, post: 5099847, member: 8678"] I only looked up the 11 linebackers in the article and didn't check the whole draft. But some of those who don't get drafted get invited to summer camp as free agents and can either make the team or be selected for the practice squad. Every team needs replacements, and linebackers with experience can end up wearing the radio helmet for the defense and calling the defensive signals for each down. Linebackers also make a large percentage of tackles. In football, there's 2 main defensive schemes the 4-3 defense and 3-4 defense. "The [B]4-3[/B] is the older [B]defense[/B] of the two and is more thought of as the standard. It consists of four defensive linemen and three linebackers. In the [B]3-4[/B] there are three defensive linemen and four linebackers. ... In a [B]3-4 defense[/B], the pressure is mainly created from the backers." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationalfootballpost.com/columns/features/is-there-an-answer-to-the-3-4-vs-4-3-debate/#:~:text=The%204-3%20is%20the,defensive%20linemen%20and%20four%20linebackers.&text=In%20a%203-4%20defense,mainly%20created%20from%20the%20backers.[/URL] The point is that every team needs 4 linebackers plus backups in case of injury during the game. And if it's a serious injury then a team will need to call in a practice squad linebacker if they have one. Or else the team needs to quickly sign a replacement linebacker from another team's practice squad. The page below shows the salaries of all the linebackers in the NFL. There's 294 of them listed. The top 27 linebackers earn between $10 - $23.5 million per year. The next highest paid group from #28 through #50 earn between $4 - $9 million per year.
