I get it but we are still thin at the position. and he does have more talent than what it would take to replace him. We save absolutely nothing by cutting him, it actually cost us over 23k to cut him to not play for us so that wouldn’t make much sense. He’s on the last year of his deal

I'm not against it. I think the team is ready to move on but now they may not be able to due to lack of bodies.  I'd say if they draft one Shaq may be on borrowed time.

I'm surprised some don't know Jewell.  

If you watch the Broncos defense, #47 jumps out. He's dawg certified.

We save $3m if we cut him post June 1st.

Answer: Better than Luvu, according to some 

I dunno if thats the case, but in his season under Evero in Denver he had 128 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, and 2 INTs.  Luvu last season had 125 tackles, 5.5 sacks and no INTs.  From what I gather with those stats, its about a wash with maybe Jewell being a bit better in coverage with the INTs, and Luvu a bit better in pressure with his sacks.  Biggest thing is since he's played for Evero he knows the scheme.

They were both top 10/top 5 available. Luvu a better pass rusher and a little younger, Jewell looks more willing to tackle in the run game that what we're used to

I wanted to draft him out of college.  I like the move.

Someone called this in another thread. 
number one question:

will fans still use the “Luuuuuuuuuke” chant every time a white guy tackles someone.

[45catfan]

Dude was a tackling machine in college.  I haven't kept up with him much in the pros, but dude is a heat seeking missile type of LB. Hopefully he's still the same.

[csx]

Isnt he the guy everyone said we should go after last season via trade? Short memories

[45catfan]

This is what I was talking about when I said I wanted to draft this dude.

Look at that Senior year, 132 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks. 2 INTs and a FF.  That's only in 12 games.  The prior two seasons were very sold as well.

There's only a few of us left willing enough to stick around for this train wreck. That's only because we just can't look away.

If someone is willing to pay money to watch this I have no sympathy for them. They should know by now it's wasted money. They have no reason to grip about crappy football as it will not change anytime soon. If they are not going for the laughs and fellowship they are doing it wrong.
