The Jacksonville Jaguars made a surprise move after practice on Wednesday, releasing veteran defensive tackle Malcom Brown who appeared to be caught in a squeeze play involving younger players ahead of him and behind him on the depth chart.

Brown (6 feet 2, 330 pounds) was entering his eighth season in the NFL. He is coming off a career-high 57 tackles in 2021, with two sacks.

Here's a signing I can get behind. Big help in the run defense.

Im sure Fitts is already in contact with his agent. QQ: Are waivers active right now? I actually dont know the rules around waivers in the preseason. 

I think waivers is only for players who are under 4 years of NFL experience

theres got to be a reason why they cut him

 

is he washed?

Saints traded him to the Jaguars in the offseason and from what I could see he had a good season for the Saints last season. Jags seem to have a glut of young DTs they like better. So I'm not sure, he might just be a numbers/money cut, or maybe he just isn't cutting it. Either way, Panthers interior line isn't great and this would be a huge move to shore up the run defense.

My completely amatuer take. Why not stack the line with 3 big bodies and Burns? Brown, Ionnidis, Brown, Burns. Ionnidis can provide some rush. Have Luvu play a passing rushing element mixed in.  If the secondary is going to be a strength it seems there is some leeway on the line. I'd rather them be stout and not all super dynamic pass rushers than light in the pants.  We aren't going to find an above average DE so adjust and try to go about it a slightly different way. With Hoskins and Nixon we have some depth in the rush capable big body types.

Yeah we basically have a 3-4 d-line roster but run a 4-3 or 4-2-5ish kinda thing. Not sure if it's by design or what. Burns/Barno/Luvu/Smith/Haynes can all speed rush but shouldn't be relied on to take OT's 1v1 in the run game

In reading through the Jags message boards it appears this was likely a combinations of a couple of things. 

It saves them 3 million in cap space. 
He was surpassed by 2 younger players and was 3rd on the depth chart playing late into the 4th quarter of their preseason game.
Their coach apparently "hasn't been happy with the interior line since camp started." and has been bringing in veteran D-Lineman for tryouts, such as Ddamukong Suh and Danny Shelton (just signed with Chiefs) and they fully expect a veteran to be signed within the next 24 hours.

there is a date after which that goes in to affect I believe. It's might be the trade deadline...or at least somewhat in to the season.

Found it:

Waivers runs throughout the league year from the first business day after the Super Bowl through the end of the regular season. The first time it runs after the coming roster cuts is Wednesday, September 1 at noon ET.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
