Darius Jackson Available

[waldoputty]

we cut him to keep these other backs.
nothing has changed.
some other scrub will look great in preseason then we will cut him too.

what changed is we cut him when we were at 53 men squad, not the current 90.
he may be a big improvement from the midget RB rookie who runs a 4.67 as the '4th' RB.

if he needs microfracture, pass.
if he needs ACL, why not.
easy way to stash.
he could be ready in 6-7 months.
he could be 1 of 2 RBs under contract in 2018.

@bkight13 - what happens if he is on PUP/IR all season.
does he get a year of service time?

I think it's just a minor knee issue.

 

[Stash]

I think it is a non-injury CYA designation

If he can't pass a physical then it is an easy pass

Most definitely. If he's actually hurt, it's too bad but I then have no interest. But I feel he can play anytime soon, I like him over the undrafted guy they signed (Thomas) and I'd like to see Jackson competed for the 3rd RB spot with Morris.

FYI Christine Michael got signed by the Colts today....... he has more jerseys than yards I think

Amazing that guy keeps getting work.

Over/under 10 pages?

Against my better judgement, I'll take the under...but not without much misgivings and reluctance.

If you're waived by the Browns. That should be a career ending event.

Didn't Cooper got waived by Browns too?

 

[mickswag]

Didn't Cooper got waived by Browns too?

Yup, and Taylor Gabriel, and Dion Lewis. Those guys turned out ok.

 

[lostar2009]

what could it hurt? let Darius, Darren, and Alfred compete for RB 2

Alfred should be cut.

he isn't very good, he is not healthy. end of story.

Because they are never wrong about a player.... ?

and fwiw emmitt smith was a midget rb who ran a 4.65.

jahad thomas may stink but he has a job with us.
jackson is a non-factor who best 300 yards rushing in a SEASON all of 1 time in 4 years at eastern michigan and was just released in favor of terrence magee.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

i think we only have 4.
the 4th is a midget rb who runs a 4.67.
besides we stashed rico for 1 year, we only have 1RB on roster next year.

Running backs are easy to find. This team isn't sitting here in a sweat

thomas does not qualify for an emmitt size midget.
he is smaller than lance dunbar.
google says he weighs 170.
lets give him 180 running a 4.67.
dunbar is 190 and runs a 4.47

easier, but would you not like to see one more RB not counting the midget who runs a 4.67?

 

[rkell87]

Whichever scout let him make it on our board shouldn't have a job anymore

 

[Verdict]

Here comes all of the standard bull****! Interested? Give him a trial run! It can't hurt! Kick the tires! Lots of tread left! Do it Jerry! Right a wrong! He knows our (are) system!

He's good! Championship! Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Verdict]

They just received 14 million in cap space they need to lock him up long term.

Ten years $100 million. A. Bargain. At. Twice. The. Price.

please stop posting silly things.
jahad thomas is 5'10" and 175 or so. That makes him skinny... not a midget where 5'10" is actually average height.
he can actually return kicks and play special teams then operate as your nickel back which gives him an outside shot to make the roster.

dunbar would be here if he could stay healthy at all. his size was never an issue for dallas.

darius jackson has legit NFL size but no skill in any special teams area.
he isn't gonna break into the lineup here as an every down back and thus has no place on the roster.

 

[Doc50]

we have little depth in RB.
it may be a good way to stash a player for later in the season in case of injury.
morris is gone next year no matter what.
cheap RB assuming he does not need microfracture surgery.
and you get him for 3 years cheap

I have not seen any medical reports, but if the Brownies don't want him, he may indeed have osteochondritis dissecans; would have a difficult future with that even if he did have microfracture surgery.
