Do we still try to resign McBob?

With Jefferson in the mix we have 3 big guys in the rotation. Tyrus is gone, not sure if we keep Haywood, and I would think we cut Adrien. So now the question is who is the other backup 4/5? I would think it is best to get another defensive guy since Zeller and Jefferson are offense oriented. McBob is a good energy guy and would be nice if we could bring him back cheap. Is there anyone else on the market that could be brought in on the cheap as a better alternative?

I don't think McBob will ever be a star or a good starter but he was averaging 7.2 points, and 9.3 Points per game. Charlotte was the first team to ever really let him be a starter, I think he could be a great rotation guy.

I'd like to add a little something else, the last 5 games when McBob had gotten the starting job and had gotten his feel for the offense, for about 10 games in a row he was putting up nearly  20/10's or 10/20's every game. In the third to last game of the season he scored 18 points 9 rebounds and 9 assists. 9 assists is crazy for a man his size. McBob never really started much until he got here. McBob could have a very bright future.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
