From the story: Per Pro Football Focus, "Spillane is one of a few players on this list who changed teams between the 2022 and the 2023 seasons. This led to increased playing time for him, as he logged 1,100 snaps during his first season with the Raiders after never playing more than 600 snaps in a season with the Steelers. He also earned career-high grades in run blocking and pass rushing in 2023."

Spillane was a pleasant surprise. The combo of him being legit and the health of Devine really changed the complexion of our LB 'ers. I have hope that AP makes sure that both Burney and Butler are developed as they can both potentially take big steps forward this upcoming season.BoJacksonRules » Tue Jan 30, 2024 1:44 pm
Sign Jewell and Re-sign Deablo and we’ll have an excellent LB groupGUYDON » Tue Jan 30, 2024 2:05 pm
Love how Spillane plays. He looks like a total psychopath, and he doesnt seem to be all there upstairs, and he plays with reckless abandon... all things I love in a linbacker.RunOverByHubbard » Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:59 pm
Me too. I thought, a special teams and part-time starter from the Steelers that I have never hear of? From Western Michigan, an undrafted free agent, and with a 40 time of 4.77? Well, he might be our best linebacker in 25 years or more, although I cannot remember them all.chucker wrote Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:05 pm:I was meh on the Spillane signing at the time. I'm all-in now.

I was less than meh on his signing. I was meh with Perryman. I was ecstatic about Littleton. What the fuck do I know. I was O for 3 with our FA LB'ers.chucker wrote Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:05 pm:I was meh on the Spillane signing at the time. I'm all-in now.

It was nice to see a competent LB corps out there finally.
