Who is going to back up Brooks Reed?

It appears that the Atlanta Falcons will be giving the full-time staring duties to Brooks Reed at strong side linebacker but who do they plan on having as his backup? O’brined Schofield was used in that role all 0f 2015 and did a tremendous job but he has yet to be re-signed.

Schofield has voiced his opinion on resigning with the Falcons and would like to, but the two sides are far from an agreement. If the Falcons do not sign Schofield, who will back up Reed? I’m not convinced that Reed can be on the field on all three downs so their need to find him a complementary backup is that much more important.
