mtsportsfan1 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Wonder what happened ? Wasn't he a pro bowler last year ? He would be our best linebacker ( maybe Campbell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatedT Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m curious too. They have a lot of depth at that position and he has big ol contract but still weird they would just cut a quality player like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though, that is between him and his wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it saves them some money now and protects them from paying him next year in the event he got injured this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Guarantee the Buccaneers or Seahawks try to sign him and he will go to one of those two teams. Those two teams actually try to win Super Bowls. If the Packers bring Jaylon Smith in, I will… I can’t think of something I would do, but I would do it. It could be anything really because it won’t happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his money is guaranteed, he may be willing to play somewhere on another contender in the NFC for vet minimum from his new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCalebR Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Jaylon is Oren with a better name and worse joints. At this point. Edited October 6, 2021 by HighCalebR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Correct, the main reason he is no longer a Cowboy is he doesn't play ST's. No team can have a backup LB sitting on the bench and not playing teams. So yes Summers is better than Smith.

His game overall has fallen way off, so because of Special Teams, Summers is actually more valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several pundits actually think he’d do well in a 3-4 scheme, and that the reason his game has fallen off is somewhat due to Quinn’s scheme and how he was utilized. His mobility has diminished, so that’s certainly a concern. To his credit, he hasn’t missed a game since he was drafted, in spite of the injury he suffered in the Fiesta Bowl. Seems like a good character guy too. He’ll go someplace, but it prolly won’t be GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for his injury, he would have been one of the top picks in his draft. Dal took a bit of a gamble on him and it looked like it paid off early but is not getting it done now. He just had wrist surgery this past off season but I don’t know what condition he’s in. I would love to see him here but I highly doubt it. He will get another opportunity soon.

With the right coach and scheme, it could be a great turnaround opportunity for him. Or not. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a kick out of posters who are scouts/personnel of other team's players who say "he can't help us". LOL .. Smith will go somewhere and light it up. Bring him in and see if there's gold under the stone. What can it hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
