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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
