Who Should I Start? Nephi Sewell or Terrel Bernard

New Orleans Saints linebacker Nephi Sewell (knee), who tore his ACL in Week 17, is not expected to be ready to go for training camp this summer, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Given the timing of Sewell's injury late last year, nobody should be expecting him to be ready for training camp, let alone the start of the 2024 regular season. The 25-year-old was a depth linebacker for the Saints last year while also contributing on special teams. In the 16 games he appeared in, Sewell didn't make any starts and finished with 15 tackles (11 solo) and one forced fumble. He entered the NFL with the Saints in 2022 as an undrafted free agent after playing college ball at both Nevada and Utah.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard has signed a long-term extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract extension. The former third-round pick is well deserving of a new deal after back-to-back 100-plus tackle seasons. The Bills have now locked up their star linebacker through the 2029 campaign. Last season, Bernard registered 104 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions across 13 games with the Bills. The 25-year-old missed time due to injury, but still managed over 100 tackles, which is impressive. This is another smart move by Buffalo who recently extended wide receiver Khalil Shakir to a four-year deal as well.
