Blythe had that hernia surgery so who knows for sure when he'll be back and have the core strength. I think LDT is a bit more known with a broken hand and healing time. It's a tough call. LDT has been a solid starter here and has a guaranteed salary whereas Blythe doesn't.
Keeping 4 LBs is a dangerous proposition. I wouldn't worry much about if Tyrann isn't renewed. A guy like Key will see the field as much on the 53 as he would on the PS, which is zero. The decision on a 5th safety, 6th CB, or 5th LB in whatever combination likely comes down most to STs value which is why I could see O'Daniel making it again, even though I like Cobb more as a player. I think it's a reason BoPete could make it too. Tough choices on that front this year but I think it has nothing to do with Tyrann's future.

Gore got carries in the 2nd quarter Friday. I actually hope they don't keep either. A sports hernia is a quick heal, 3 weeks, I would be shocked if they don't keep Blythe, and not at LDT's expense, but probably Allegretti's, although the money difference with LDT is negligible as Blythe is cheap.
