No doubt there are safeties available to sign but it might be costly...would bringing in a LB hurt?  I'm not sure D Johnson is available but knowing TD is out 4 games and we depend mostly on our front 7 play, is it not worth bringing in another LB?  I would really like a safety but LB doesnt sound bad either!  Does anyone think that Marty will sign another vet this week?

I mean, we've got Shaq and Luke for 40+% of the snaps.  That 50-60% when we're in our base, Shaq will be in TD's role and I think Mayo will fill in fine at OLB.  Factor in maybe it's Norris or one of our new draft picks, and we're solid.

Derrick Johnson already signed with the Raiders. 

I don't expect us to sign anyone with TD only missing four games. Plus we drafted two LBs late this year.

That's the issue, they were drafted late...normally we play LBs same year when they are drafted early.  Lol like first round early only

He's only suspended for four games. If we like the young LBs were not going to risk potentially putting one of them on the PS while TD is suspended.

I actually thought Cash would have stuck around more.  I think he is with AZ

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
