These two will be our inside linebackers. Koonce and Snowden will be competing for the two remaining OLB spots unless they bring somebody else in.

LB Quay Walker signs with Las Vegas Raiders

2025 PFF Grade: 46.0
2025 PFF WAR: -0.02
Contract: 3 years, $40.5 million
PFF Projected Contract: 3 years, $45 million
PFF Deal Grade: Below Average

Walker has been in the NFL for four seasons now, and has earned PFF grades below 60.0 in all four of those years. He's coming off a season that saw him earn a 40.9 PFF coverage grade that was tied for 11th worst among linebackers, and it's tough to square that level of performance with this contract. On the plus side, he is one of the better tacklers in the NFL, ranking 9th at the position with a 6.7% missed tackle rate last season.

Also from PFF

Quay Walker, Green Bay Packers
Snaps from Week 1-9: 460 | Grade from Week 1-9: 47.6
Snaps from Week 10-18: 287 | Grade from Week 10-18: 72.2
Walker’s NFL career hasn’t been smooth sailing, but he showed some of his first-round potential again in the second half of the 2024 season. His 72.2 grade was 23rd, and his 80.2 run defense grade was 11th among linebackers, and Walker allowed just 123 yards in coverage from Week 10 onwards

Kwity Paye should get 1 of the OLB spots before Koonce/Snowden.

What makes you think that. He’s been a 4-3 DE and projects to more of a 3-4 OLB than DE

Feels like Walker is a solid get. Good tackler and against the run but terrible in coverage. We can hide that some in a 3-4. Maybe a little overpay but we need to spend. Not expecting him to be great or terrible. We need solid.

This guy is a defensive end. An undersized one to playing in a 3-4. They would have to try him out at linebacker.

Just because our Base Defense is changing to a 3-4 doesn’t mean we won’t also be running 4 man fronts , just not as frequent

It's obvious Spytek's philosophy on defense is to stop the run.
