Very good training camp addition former probowler probably very eager to get his game back on track. Underrated pickup to bolster our LB group even if he only contributes a few games could be a very very good backup.

Jones had a couple of years (2016 & 2017) where he was one of the best off-ball LB's in the league.  His pass coverage ability as a LB was among the best in the league.

Even if he has lost a step, it's a great depth signing IMO, and I think he can still spot start if necessary.

I love this signing, and I hope we follow it up with another signing at EDGE.

One other thing I thought of too is that this signing will allow Luvu to potentially get more snaps as a pure pass rusher.

Luvu as a pass rusher excites me he’s got a knack for getting to the qb I’d love to blitz him more. Imagine him getting 10 sacks this season that’s wrecking havoc from an OLB.

smh. no wonder kids are getting dumber these days.

I know you are using this as slang, but by definition this makes no sense, haha.

It's like how kids are saying "unironically" before they say a statement 

It makes perfect sense in this situation

I was far more impressed with Luvu last year than any time I watched Jones play. If he is good off-ball it does provide an opportunity to be more flexible in your play calls and how you manage to flip the coverages.

for obvious reasons, my fandom in general nfl news has been nonexistent for the past three years. why is this guy even available? i remember him being a beast on the falcons.

yeah really good question that I have no answer to as I also haven't followed as closely in recent years as I did when we were actually relevant. Deion was great in the Dan Quinn era, overrated a bit by Falcons fans (I remember some talking him up like he was better than Luke or TD lol) but definitely a top 10-15 ILB. Even if he just winds up being solid depth this is a great signing. If he can get back to being even close to what he once was, what a damn find for this deep into the summer. Really no idea why he's been sitting available

And this is the question right? Obviously the team is going to put out media saying Jones was just waiting on the right situation to present itself but coming off of a shoulder injury, as a linebacker, you know the real reason.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
