I think he's improved and is playing very good football.

Belcher is a FA next year.

His spot is also one of the few on the defense that also could be considered for upgrade based on the guys that will be there at #11.

It's not so much wanting Belcher gone as it is recognizing that Kuechly has a higher ceiling. I don't think anyone will be pissed if Belcher is our ILB, but like Kendrick Lewis, he's a guy that could be replaced with one of the available players when we draft in round 1.

I don't mind upgrading positions, but I think we should address those where we have no clear answers first.

I also don't think Belcher will be hard to re-sign.
He hasn't exactly been a world beater.

I won't kick the cat if we draft him, he's a hell of a football player, I'd rather have DeCastro or Tannehill though.
