I realize this is a sentimental post, but Matthews isn't a good scheme fit at all for the defense Woods wants to install. I'm going to be writing an in-depth piece for linebackers in the Woods 4-3 stack alignment, but Matthews needs to play as a 3-4 linebacker who rushes the passer.
He doesn't NEED to.
The Packers swapped him to MLB later in his time there and he fared just fine.
The Packers moved on from him. I didn't know losing your job is "just fine."
The only reason his name was mentioned is sentimental. We are talking about a 33 year old who is suing the last franchise he played with, who played him as a 3-4 pass rushing linebacker. It's all a huge non-starter for a team looking to develop a young core of linebackers and just let two veterans walk.
Go get him Berry. He would be a great veteran for our young linebackers to learn from and provide leadership for our defense. Would love to see him finish his career with the Browns.

No. We need LBs not pass rushers. We have Garrett OV clayborn and Thomas. Thomas shown some flashes when given a shot. No need to add a 5th DE who can only rush the passer who’s gonna want starter money.
