Can DeAndre Levy Return to Form in 2017?

The curious case of outside linebacker DeAndre Levy continued to trend downward in 2016. After recording 119 tackles in 2013 and 159 tackles in 2014 (which ranked second in the NFL that season), Levy earned a four-year extension worth more than $37 million.

Levy still has three years and about $19 million left on his current contract. What is the problem with that, you may ask? He has only played in six games combined in the last two seasons and is a shell of his former self.

Even in the games he played in during that time frame, he didn’t really make his presence felt.
