Should we bring back Sean Lee?

I definitely had my thoughts that Sean Lee was NOT going to return to play another year here if we were being converted to a 3-4 scheme.

IF we were to convert to such a base scheme, then that would have LVE and Jaylon in
the starting middle, with DLaw on one OLB role, while the other side would have to be determined.
That would leave Sean Lee out as a possible starter. Would he want to return to be a backup middle LB ?

But with the plan to stay in the 4-3 scheme, that could mean Lee remaining a strong side OLB starter.
I for one, think Lee will want to come back and play for yet one more season.

The Bigger question is: Will Mike and Mike (McCarthy/Nolan) be considering bringing back a 33 year old
and retaining that limited role of 20% snaps while young cornerstones LVE and Jaylon take the roles in the 4-2-5 nickel packages.

I could see the new coaching regime going with a newer young starter instead of the old school Lee, who remarkably (and shockingly) stayed virtually healthy for the entire year (aside from 1 game I think) .

Me? I'd be interested in doing a 1 year, vet minimum for Lee, ..along side adding young candidate(s) that can seriously contend for a starting strong side job either immediately and definitely inside two years.

vet min?

being cheap with Jerry’s money?

just appreciate Sean Lee.

he will be retired soon enough.

As a backup for the 3-4, and in either scheme for packages/(pass defense)

Bring back Lee for another year. But don't insult him by paying him the league minimum. He's worth more than that to the Cowboys as a solid backup and basically an assistant coach both on and off the field.
The leadership presence with Lee and the newly hired and deep linebacker coach(s) will be a major upgrade for this defense. They will finally become the glue that holds this defense strongly together.
