News: No 5th Year Option for LVE

[BrAinPaiNt]

Nah son yall cooked me on here for not wanting vander glass.

Yall as in I as well...as I don't remember that. Oh..Im not your son.

Either way...you get no apology.

The Smith hit brigade will disagree with you. You are correct sir. Smith has out played LVE in every way the last two seasons. The problem with LVE is he is made of glass. He played the worst game I have ever seen for a linebacker against the Ravens and then he sprains his ankle against the Bengals and you never hear from him again. I hope he proves me wrong but the guy is a shell of his first year self. He might need to be released because he can’t stay healthy.

I'm thinking IF the surgery was very successful, he has maybe 3 years left that he can be productive in before the neck forces his retirement. Of course he's not here past this year unless he gets a second contract, which will only happen if he returns to, or near to, his rookie form. In which case the Cowboys either can't afford him or won't want to give him a long-term deal. Though no other team may either.

<Sigh> what could have been. Still may work out, but we'll just have to wait and see....

We should have drafted rashaan evans. Like i said from the beginning.

well, he's going to be available because the Titans didn't pick up his 5th year option either.

They are working on an extension just not paying him the 5th year

 

[atlantacowboy]

Dammmmmit! I'm still wearing his jersey to games.

Injuries have killed LVE
But neither he nor Jaylon were my preferences when we were on the clock drafting
I suspect a lot here could say the same thing

main thing I recall about LVE’s 1st round was that, once again, we snoozed and lost on Derwn James right ahead of us.

From the scouts: "Evans regressed in year 3."

I am against taking players w/ injury issues before the late 4th in principle, so I was not on board w/ either pick. NFL is much rougher than college, so if a guy has issues in college, there's very little chance that those injuries won't follow him. Each injury must be examined closely to determine if it will be a chronic problem. Quite simply, every human body is built differently, and some simply aren't built to withstand the extreme pounding.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Good move to put him in a contract year. He and Jaylon are playing for their jobs this season.

 

[Sheepherder]

So are we saying that Jaylon might need to worry about his job?

He’s safer than LVE but not by much. It’ll save the team $5 million if we cut Jaylon next offseason, which isn’t really enough to sign a decent replacement. It’ll save us almost $10 million if we cut him in 2023.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Judging by the moves they’ve made this offseason, McCarthy and Quinn put most of the defensive failure last season at the feet of the linebackers. They kicked Jaylon out to strong side where he’ll be lucky to get 20 snaps a game. They torpedoed LVE’s option. And they spent major capital acquiring new starting LBs.

 

[Sydla]

and who was his DC......a guy you called the worst in the league.

Yep.

But then why not apply that logic to Smith? Why are some only excusing LVEs play and then saying maybe it was really Nolan's fault?

 

[Floatyworm]

He's gotta go out and earn now

That's fine....it's just like the Dak situation...it ended up costing Dallas more in the end. Should sign him long term now while the cost is relatively cheap.

I am watching the morning sports talk shows and they keep showing highlights of the Cowboys defense. I think everyone of their players from last season including Tank, Diggs and Donavon Wilson need to be on notice. Jaylon and LVE really stand out as being awful.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What lmao Calm down. He was good his rookie season but lets calm down lol Best you will ever see from a linebacker lol.

You have to excuse me I didn't really get to see many guys prior to the 90's....I personally don't remember a better rookie linebacker to come through Dallas...who do you have in mind?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He might get paid but I doubt it's here if Parsons and Cox show enough.

If LVE is good.....I don't think Parson and Cox will be allowed to show more than him if he balls out this year......

I'd agree except on Tank. We just don't have anyone who can do what he does on this team right now.
