Jeremy Cash moved to LB

[KillerKat]

10 years ago we used to have a LB named Brandon Jamison. He was 6'1 and 205 pounds (ended up bulking up to 232 later). Also he wore #57.  He played for us in 2006 and 2007 and was pretty good on special teams. I think Cash will be more like him except much better and much more potential.

Multiple teams contacted him after the draft.

Yeah I heard the number was at least 20, with him finally choosing us over Cinci.

Yeah but if we release him and someone picks him up off waivers they have to add him to the active roster by rule. That will likely limit the chances he's poached to only a handful of needy teams, if any.

he should just play safety

[SinaloaPaisa]

dont understand why he can not be harpers replacement. 

seems like he has potential to be a stud SS.

I can't envision a 200lbs linebacker. Waste of a draft pick

1) hes a UDFA

2) hes 210

Is what it is. Keep the best 53. If he's one of them,  great. If not and he gets picked up elsewhere, best of luck. 

I'd also argue that he was so coveted that he went undrafted, let's keep some perspective.

And NOW, everyone is finally figuring out why he was an UDFA

If any NFL team thought he had a chance to be a potential stud SS, he would've been drafted. He was a really good college player, but he essentially played as an undersized LB. He played a similar role to what TD did at UGA. They were technically playing SS, but they were lined up in the box the vast majority of the time. When Cash was in coverage, he didn't cover well. He allowed a ridiculously high completion percentage.

Exactly. He'll be used like he was at Duke, and not cut due to his coverage skills, or the lack of. That's a major reason he signed with the Panthers. If he can improve his coverage, great, but the Panthers didn't sign him just to cross their fingers and hope he could become a legit safety. They know his pluses and minuses and have a plan on how he'll be used. I guess we'll see if the plan works.

I get the feeling it will be tough for him to make the roster or the PS

[Bj-Monster23]

I think he bulks up and become a pretty good player for the Panthers.

[Chief Keek]

And there it is the official Huddle verdict, Cash is a bust and will never amount to anything. Call the press, I can already see the headlines "Gettleman strapped for Cash!".

Plenty of NFL teams are wrong every year about players. Cash's problems could have been scheme or maybe our coaches can coach him up. Harper is trash in coverage, so not sure we would lose anything regardless. Cash seems coachable and athletic enough to play SS imo.
