Why was he released?

Regression in play, poor against the run, losing time to rookies, and if he got injured this year, Cowboys were on the hook for his salary next year. All that is according to an article I just read.

Yeah let's take him, rangy linebacker who can do a bit of everything. He has had an up ad down career, but he is healthy now and better than any option we have 

The Eagles should bring him in there's no doubt there. They won't but they should. He's an instant upgrade on what they have and it isn't even close.

He has the same exact problems as the linebackers we have now at a much higher price tag.

Yup

Who was that machine gun celebration dude we had at LB years ago? He would be better than our current LBs

Watch Howie sit there and waste time scratching his balls while Smith signs with another team and end up doing well.. Eagles have been allergic to LB's after Ray Rhodes...

Probably gonna be Giants. Just a guess.

Brian Rolle

Have any of you looked at our LBs? As sad as it is, even with a blown tire Smith is a better sideline to sideline LB than what we have currently.

He has talent so that's hardly the same exact problems as our LBs have...

Talent that got dumped for having the same problems as ours from a team that had worse defensive problems then ours the last few years.

I'm not disputing that though. Dullarse drafted Parsons, drafted Cox and they have LVE. They felt his services were no longer required because he was losing snaps to rookies and his play wasn't great. But he's got talent and he's a lot better than what we have right now. 

No.

Signed with the Packers. Lock it up

That isn't really good though. Our LBs suck. We can't get a read on Gannon as a DC when the LBs suck so bad. 

Sounds like he’s joining the Packers.

He has the same issues our current LB have. Not to mention Eagles aren't not going anywhere this year so it'll be stupid to waste cap for a team that needs as much as they can get

Jaylon can help the Eagles this LB crew needs all the help it can get .

As I said yesterday he has more talent than our LBs. And I'm not sure the cap hit would be that big this year as the Cowboys are taking the hit.

Yea let's sign him on a one year deal just for the hell of it. Pissing more cap away is a great way to build for the future

The Cowboys are taking most of the hit having cut him...

He’s a Packer. Close thread.
