Chaney is expected to start at middle linebacker for the remainder of the season while Bradley recovers.[10] Chaney made his first NFL start against the New York Giants, and he recorded 16 tackles, 12 of them being solo tackles. After his start, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger said Chaney was, "already one of the best middle linebackers in the league", and that he's "phenomenal in all phases of the game".[11] On August 25, 2013, Chaney was released by the Eagles.[12]
Atlanta Falcons

He was signed on the Falcons roster on September 17, 2013, along with former Eagles teammate Omar Gaither. He was then released on October 22, 2013.

Something is weird here. What happened to where he dropped off the football radar and then couldn't even make the Falcon's roster?

I have no clue. There were no significant injuries or off the field stuff. Just one of those scenarios where a player loses a job to someone based on their name...and is suddenly considered useless. I dont see him in practices, etc., but I dont understand how he fell off the map after having success on the field

And Denver wouldn't be switching formations because of him, either.

I can't say I'm too surprised, but that is unfortunate. I think Elway sees MLB as a two down position anyway, so ... Spikes anyone?

I wouldn't have minded but the Bills seem to have a lot of interest in him right now.

As Brandon Spikes is still available… RT @buffalobills: Whaley: #Bills plan to move Kiko Alonso from MLB to OLB.

P.S. I don't twitter. I reddit.com/nfl.

Hmm, I didn't know that. We need somebody there, preferably someone not in their late 30's.

Spikes is terrible at pass coverage. Great run stuffer, but considering how teams will be behind with our offense, that could mean that he's a 2 down MLB. I don't think the Broncos need another 2 down MLB that can't cover the pass.

I've decided...I'm rooting for Chaney

Missing out on Daryl Smith sucks, but I am not surprised. It looks like he will finish his career in Baltimore.

So now who is the best three-down Mike available?
