Gay plays more closely as a Sam because of his strength at the point of attack but we use him on the weak side a ton.
But he's not a young player anymore either. He'll be 29 next season so you're really looking at maybe a 2 year deal before looking to move on. And as a slightly undersized player, he'll take a fair bit of abuse as a starter over more snaps.
I'd prefer keep him in his present role to keep him healthy and effective. But if we had to start him, that works.

Nah, linebackers are now way more productive for longer because it's not a run first league anymore. There's lots of guys like Bobby Wagner still playing at a high level at 33+. This isn't the 80's NFL anymore.
