The Panthers on Monday claimed former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jalen Jelks, a league source confirmed. Dallas released the 2019 seventh-round pick out of Oregon to make room for Everson Griffin. The Panthers won't have to make a corresponding move until Jelks clears COVID-19 testing, which typically takes 3-4 days.

I remember him now, he was one of my favorite late round DE prospects. Id say hes got a good shot at the PS, if hes in great shape. Hes perfect for the PS.

Played LT in HS.....Is this one of Rhule’s conversion players?  Beef him up will protein shakes and viola an offensive linemen is created.

I got excited when I saw # 74. That's what I get for looking at the pictures before reading the text.

Newly claimed defensive end Jalen Jelks (who was claimed on waivers from the Cowboys) was on the field today wearing #73 – tight end Andrew Vollert, who was signed only four days ago, was released – I am not kidding you. The Panthers liked Jelks and with only 80 players in camp, this decision came down to the numbers as Temarrick Hemingway (concussion) was able to return to practice, albeit in a green non-contact jersey. “This is a really hard year,” said Rhule. “Having some players get hurt early in [Keith] Kirkwood (who broke his clavicle) really just got [us] caught up in the numbers game.”

    • Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.
    • This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.
    • This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
