Panthers sign LB Josey Jewell


Recommended Posts

Panthers agreed to terms with LB Josey Jewell, formerly of the Broncos, to a three-year, $22.75 million contract.
Jewell joins a Panthers defense that’s in need of some help. After losing linebacker Frankie Luvu and safety Jeremy Chinn to the Commanders and trading Brian Burns to the Giants, the Panthers bring in Jewell to serve as the presumed starter at middle linebacker. Jewell totaled 108 tackles and two TFLs last season with the Broncos and earned a PFF grade of 67.2 while also fairing reasonably well in pass coverage. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero still needs some help on the defensive side of the ball, but Jewell is a solid vet for a team that’s lost three key starters in less than 24 hours.

Hope so. Get these vets who don’t seem to mind losing outta here 

Do it, $3m dead cap $3m saved. Time to move on. He's a "leader" but he's also been super immature and smug as hell in his pressers the last few years once the big dawgs all left and Rhule tried to be all buddy buddy with him. Didn't act like that when TD and Luke were here

The only reason he's still here is because he took a massive pay cut. He got hurt right after that. He's gone.

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
