I think this has nothing to do with Wilson and everything to do with Heath with a player like Josh Jones.

I am not sure how that makes sense though. Why wouldn't you just start Wilson, who had a great preseason and make Heath the backup? Why go out for a retread to replace Heath?

I liked him and his film in Green Bay.

Surprised he remains unsigned at this point. Either he’s unwilling to take a backup spot or he wants money.

Very strange

I'm gonna guess cuz Jones is bigger, faster and the same age as Wilson (24)...for a few more days. ;)

IDK

He had just visited the Patriots a few days ago.

JAG or not, I'm always down for kicking the tires on players. What's the worst that could happen? Signs up for vet min, or something similar, does nothing and we cut bait for next to nothing?

Taco can rush the passer, coaches refuse to play him. Not a bust if he got the game time.

He has been scratched first two games of the season, after being scratched last third of last season. I agree he has potential but as a Cowboy he is a bust.

I think they have him playing Xavier Woods position.

this is a depth move,nothing more. A little cheap insurance in case Wilson is out longer. I likey. Nothing to lose to look and take a flier. He has HUGE upside and maybe something to prove. Will McClay is a stable genius. lol

He just looks like the type of safety that the game has passed by.

He's a true SS / Linebacker type.

He did run a 4.4 40 though.

jones has the flex to play either safety spot...and can even play some dime package linebacker! He is a good size player, with versatility.

^^^this^^^...BUT in Rods scheme, we may be able to find a role for him.I am thinking a hybrid box safety in the dime or even adding some weight and making him a linebacker. He has played some LB in GB. He is an athletic freak.

btw...my warning concerning the Miami game. ITS A TRAP. Fitzpatrick is very capable of stringing together drives and scoring.He is a streaky QB. We need the dline to hit him often,move him off his throwing spot. That's how u beat him. Our linebackers need to cover the damn running backs out in the flat. We didn't do that the first 2 weeks. The skins made a living checking down to the runner in the flat. Wide open. THAT CANT HAPPEN.
