Jaylon’s issues are beyond the box score. His breakdowns and mental lapses in coverage are easy to see and his tackles, while many, are happening after opponents are well past the line of scrimmage. His actual effectiveness on the field has dropped significantly from 2018; one of the lower-graded starting linebackers in football.

No, the issues now with Jaylon are ones we never saw coming. He’s not the elite player we were promised, despite being fully and consistently healthy

Isn't he an injury liability? Dallas clearly has something going for them this year and I'm not surprised they are cutting loose ends like him.

Apparently he’s healthy now for a few years. We gotta kick the tires here.

Sounds like his injury guarantee is part of the reason why they are cutting him and couldn't find a trade partner.

That means he really has fell off, they release him with all that money owed. We don’t need to touch him.

When you are a snap away from having Clay Johnston and Julian Stanford starting, he is worth a 1 year prove it deal. Even if it’s as a rotational player. 
 

Def wouldn’t move on it if he’s wanting “fug you” money.

This was about money and what was waiting in the wings and could be saved for the future. This is actually one of his better starts to a season in a while. We don't have anything depth wise and he'd be an instant upgrade over the backups, as well as a great leader. We need to look hard, especially with Shaq missing time. I'd hope we'd at least try to get him.

We're pretty far down the waiver wire. I hope we make a claim though.

LG have you seen his contract?

0.0% panthers claim him.

They signed Neal and drafted Cox(who I wanted the panthers to draft)...something happened during the off-season that soured the relationship. He only got 25% of the snaps in game one and same for the panthers(close to 80% for others). I heard he was one of Jerriahs favs, but everyone else wanted to move on. When Neal a career safety thats came off a couple huge injuries is signed as a LB and they prefer him, something is fugy...

 

Panthers need LBs and he plays LB....Shaq is rumored to miss game/s and panthers have the most cap space........Lets see what type of stones Finessererererer is bringing this time.......I bet Smith signs with NYG, Wash, or Philly.....they all need LBs too and he may be out for the blowboys...

If hes healthy, why not??

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
