Your opinion on two free agent ILBers Alec Ogletree and Todd Davis?

Hawkeye0202 · Sep 15, 2020

Just wondering if anyone knows much about either player. Both have some pretty impressive stats ( see below). I admit I have no idea if they would our scheme but both are available and have tons of starting experience.

ALEC OGLETREELB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Free agent Alec Ogletree worked out for the Bears.
It's the first we've heard on Ogletree since his February release. Ogletree never lived up to his Giants contract, but it's surprising there hasn't been more interest. 28-year-old Ogletree has started every game he's appeared in. Chicago also worked out free agents Devante Bond and Gabe Sewell.
SEP 10 2020Signed to the practice squad by New York (NYJ)

TODD DAVISLB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Broncos released ILB Todd Davis.

https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/2328/todd-davis/stats

Davis started 59 games for Denver over the last four seasons but was entering the final year of his contract and suffered a calf injury during camp. His release saves the Broncos $4.5 million against the cap. Davis was Pro Football Focus' No. 20 off-ball linebacker out of 57 qualifiers who played at least 50% of the snaps last season, seeing positive marks for his run defense. The 28-year-old should get another chance elsewhere. This was probably more about money. Denver has Mark Barron, Alexander Johnson, Joe Jones, and newly-acquired Austin Calitro as options at the position.

Solid players. I’d sign both of em.

They must suck for us to pluck guys off of PS’s.

Yea I was thinking the same thing but according to Roto, Todd Davis's release was strictly a money issue. Did you see his stats?

I like Ogletree and feel he would upgrade our current linebacker group. I think we need a vet in there rather than trusting rookies.

I'm watching the game now and I hate to say it, because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but Jaylon looks like a rag doll out there. I don't think he's made it through a play yet without ending up on the ground.

Carson · Sep 15, 2020

Davis would be a great pickup

That's my point......thinking either guy could only help.

CowboyJ70 · Sep 15, 2020

I mentioned Todd Davis on another thread and was laughed at. The guy is good.

Hawkeye0202 · Sep 15, 2020

I think we all can agree, no way in hell we can hide the deficiencies this bunch for 5-7 games when LVE comes back. We need to bring in the cheapest high-mid level free agent/ practice squad player out there now.

Uncle_Hank · Sep 15, 2020

You have to imagine that both of them are better than Jaylon, right?

Pessimist_cowboy · Sep 15, 2020

Todd Davis is a good player I would take him.

Nobody's laughing now my friend.

I'm with you on this one. DAL needs both, but probably can't afford both.

I remember Ogletree was good in coverage and can get sideline to sideline with his speed. Don't know much about Davis, but if he started on that DEN defense for 4 straight years it's good enough for here.

This is why I don't like keeping guys like Lee n Gifford cause they're in the training room when you need them.

Never hurts to offer suggestions. Plus, I doubt the FO will announce who they're interested in before making a deal with a FA.

BigSarj · Sep 15, 2020

Pretty sure Ogletree signed with Jets.

My opinion is anyone would be better than Smith. Literally anyone.

ChuckA1 · Sep 15, 2020

I, as many here have been pulling for J Smith. And although it's was only the first game of a long season, he looked very much like he did at the end of last season. Flying around out of position and ending up on the ground.

Carson · Sep 15, 2020

Ogletree is signed to the Jets practice squad

Davis was carted off the practice field with a calf injury.
