Interest in #Jaguars free agent DE Jeremy Mincey is growing; cheaper alternative to Mario & Abraham. #Bears, #Browns, #Cowboys in-play.

[SDogo]

I would really like this move

[JustDezIt]

I would really like this move

could you tell us some more about him, he is a guy i literally know little to nothing about

[numnuts23]

8 sacks and 4 FF last year - starting 16 games
5 sacks in 2010 - starting 8 games

6-3 270 - 28 years old

[ragingbull2488]

This would be a very underrated and nice move if they were able to pull it off some how.

Very under the radar up and coming player. Really came into his own last season but had no supporting cast. These are the type of signing that pay big right away with little money up front.

[Idgit]

Interesting. Another high-motor/high-effort guy. I'm surprised JAX didn't resign him. I wonder if he priced himself out of their market?

#Jaguars wont let free agent DE Jeremy Mincey go without a fight, despite growing market interest. He was the teams best pass rusher in '11.

[Goku]

so we'd put him at de or olb?

[The Natural]

This would be a great pickup. Which means it probably aint happenin

Was he another one they weren't able to negotiate with for whatever reason (don't recall what our issue was with re-signing Laurent Robinson)? It seems like teams should be able to re-sign these journeymen who take root and finally start to deliver for them before the free market gets to them if they really wanted to.

good to know. preciate it, i like the sound of that

[AKATheRake]

Can rush the passer and create fumbles.

Could this be our 3rd pass rusher while keeping Spencer?

Or a possible replacement?

I think this would be our 3rd pass rusher who would get a lot of snaps.

This is a good "value" player that can make an impact, to bring in.

[fortdick]

8 sacks and 4 FF last year - starting 16 games
5 sacks in 2010 - starting 8 games

6-3 270 - 28 years old

So, by these stats, he is Spencer.

At DE..............

[cowboy_ron]

This defense could get much better pretty quick with him, Connor, and Carr

[Frozen700]

At DE..............

Exactly...i would love this

[Ntegrase96]

5 of his 8 sacks last year came against the Colts. Just a heads up.

[fortdick]

At DE..............

A little light for a 3-4 DE.

This seems like more evidence for the 4-3 switch...

He's a 4-3 DE. Hmmmm... And, add Dan Connor as insurance at LB in a 4-3

RR runs so many schemes during a game anyway. I'm sure he'd the right one to play Mincey or another DE on passing downs, etc.

[JohnsKey19]

Gives the team someone to put at DE on nickel defense who can provide some semblance of a pass rush.

8 sacks and 4 FF last year - starting 16 games
5 sacks in 2010 - starting 8 games

I hope the Cowboys don't add too many guys in FA. They will be better off focusing on the draft and doing a better job there. If they sign CB and backup QB in the next few weeks that is enough from FA.

Focus on the Draft. FA costs too much.

1) too many holes to plug without extensive FA work- 6 or so
2) like our drafts are likely to plug more then 3 holes per draft if that?
3) Time is short- we do not have several years to fix things- Romo and Ware have expire dates coming up.
4) Pass Rush prospects are very weak in this draft

[robert70x7]

Don't see this happening after re-signing Spencer. I would rather have Matt Roth. Cheaper and would be a decent rotation piece.

[boysfanindc]

Sounds like the Bears are chasing him.

[Eskimo]

He's around the same size as Spencer: 6-3 270 pounds.

He ran 4.68 at his Pro Day - basically idential to Spencer.

SS was better than Spencer at 4.25

3-cone drill was better than Spencer at 7.01.

Mincer's vertical was 33.5 inches versus Spencer's 32.5.

Mincer's broad jump was 10-1 versus Spencer's 9-4.

Spencer did beat him on the bench, 30 reps to 27.

Spencer is youner though by all of 40 days.

I'd assume he is being brought in as a pass rushing DE or to play 3-4 OLB. If Greg Ellis could make the switch when he was even older, there is no reason to think Mincey can't do it. There is no way I can see him lining up at 3-4 DE on a consistent basis.

I really wouldn't mind it if all if we signed him and lifted the franchise tag off of Spencer. He just isn't worth that kind of salary. We really can't afford the luxury of bringing Spencer back in case we can't find a better replacement in FA or the draft with that $10M salary cap ding.

Some of the young guys already on the roster need to step up. If we have that many holes and plan to fill via FA then we are screwed this year. The only lasting foundation is built through the draft.

I hope that 2 holes filled in FA (CB and QB) and the remaining needs addressed through draft. OL in first and third. DE/ILB in second.

I would say this move definitely looks more like a Spencer replacement than trying to get a 3-4 end. I could see Mario Williams being considered to play some end in the 3-4, but there's no evidence Mincey would be able to make that transition.

Oh, well, c'mon Mario!

[Cajuncowboy]

As much as I would like to wake up tomorrow and find he is in Dallas and talking, I doubt it's going to happen.

Shh! I'm not listening to that kind of talk. As long as he's not signed, I have hope.

[hra8700]

This sounds AWESOME.

Jeremy Mincey + Dan Connor

I'm thinking we're switching to a 4-3.

Count me absolutely IN IN IN.
