Very good training camp addition former probowler probably very eager to get his game back on track. Underrated pickup to bolster our LB group even if he only contributes a few games could be a very very good backup.

Jones had a couple of years (2016 & 2017) where he was one of the best off-ball LB's in the league.  His pass coverage ability as a LB was among the best in the league.

Even if he has lost a step, it's a great depth signing IMO, and I think he can still spot start if necessary.

I love this signing, and I hope we follow it up with another signing at EDGE.

One other thing I thought of too is that this signing will allow Luvu to potentially get more snaps as a pure pass rusher.

Luvu as a pass rusher excites me he’s got a knack for getting to the qb I’d love to blitz him more. Imagine him getting 10 sacks this season that’s wrecking havoc from an OLB.

smh. no wonder kids are getting dumber these days.

I know you are using this as slang, but by definition this makes no sense, haha.

It's like how kids are saying "unironically" before they say a statement 

It makes perfect sense in this situation

I was far more impressed with Luvu last year than any time I watched Jones play. If he is good off-ball it does provide an opportunity to be more flexible in your play calls and how you manage to flip the coverages.

for obvious reasons, my fandom in general nfl news has been nonexistent for the past three years. why is this guy even available? i remember him being a beast on the falcons.

yeah really good question that I have no answer to as I also haven't followed as closely in recent years as I did when we were actually relevant. Deion was great in the Dan Quinn era, overrated a bit by Falcons fans (I remember some talking him up like he was better than Luke or TD lol) but definitely a top 10-15 ILB. Even if he just winds up being solid depth this is a great signing. If he can get back to being even close to what he once was, what a damn find for this deep into the summer. Really no idea why he's been sitting available

And this is the question right? Obviously the team is going to put out media saying Jones was just waiting on the right situation to present itself but coming off of a shoulder injury, as a linebacker, you know the real reason.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
