105.3 The Fan Reporting LVE 's 5th Year Option Declined

LVE must play to get paid.

He plays well, he can get resigned. If it is too much $$$, then we get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick.
Really a win win in a way.

Bust.

He’s awesome when his collarbone isn’t broken.

Only in as much as Sean Lee was a bust.

Dude’s an all-pro linebacker when he’s healthy

That's a stretch

A little surprising tho. I mean maybe they don't think he can stay on the field or maybe having Sean Lee retire reminded the F.O. that we need our LB's to be on the field. Lack of a front four last year may have contributed to his injury or at least partially. Either way GMO is correct!

You know he made the All-pro team his rookie year, right?
Only year he was "healthy" for the full season

We know this already.

I seem to remember you wanting Rashaan Evans who also had his 5th year option declined.

For a team that has demonstrated such favoritism bias and loyalty towards players that tend to be overpaid and overstay (ala Crawford) there has to be
A significant reason why they would seek Not to pick up LVE’s option.

- Injuries medical risk related than it pure performance. I believe there is graver concern about that neck situation more than what the team is letting on.

- I believe that neck situation has them very skeptical about his long term health and durability. They have to think he’s that fragile.
The Cowboys have went through that with Sean Lee, and given directly to that neck, they don’t want to have to force to go thru that unavailability streak and years

- Again Big difference also is it is a profound injury (neck spinal) and also Lee quickly established himself as a field general leader.
Neither LVE or Jaylon have never proven themselves as that kind of capacity.

- Based off his rookie year alone. I believe LVE is a better pure player and playmaker than Jaylon. I think he’s more of a factor and effective in coverage
And I think LVE will make more plays in coverage than Jaylon.
Because of the pounding and wear, I think it’s best to have him in the middle per 4-2 nickel packages with capable DL who can tie up blockers vs run.

Needless to say, Cowboys will have to change and factor high medical risk evaluation into their drafting process- particularly the early round guys.

This year he'll have 321 tackles, he'll play all 17 GAMES WILL get A new deal and will be a DUD!!!

2nd team

I truly think LVEs issues are not physical more mental. He is a small town kid that got too much attention his rookie year. Then he plays next to that Hollywood Knucklehead and some of that went to his head too. He couldn’t handle it. Then he has to deal with a couple injuries. Too soft to come back from that stuff. He is staring at the end of his NFL career now. Great rookie season but he blew it. Now it is time to buck up or be out of the league. Let’s see if this guy has it in him. First thing I would tell him would be to stay far away from Jaylon Smith. That guy is a clown. Maybe latch on to Diggs to get some of that Bama work ethic. Bottom line there is no way he earned that 5th year.

1st team or 2nd team is still all-pro. Especially when 4-3 LB compete with 3-4 OLB.

He was great ... until he wasn't.

Really awful opinion you have there.

Too bad. I really like the guy and it's really unfortunate if he can't stay healthy enough to play.

Wish Jerseys came with a 5th yr option
