LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 According to PFT.com…. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/26/browns-parting-ways-with-dqwell-jackson/#commentsI usually don't make threads like this, but if you are Bruce Allen you go and pick up this guy today. He has been a leader since his days at UMD, has experience in both the 3-4 and 4-3, and should theoretically still a few good years left in the tank. (Remember, London was 32 when we picked him up.)

JamesMadisonSkins Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If the Redskins announced the signed Jackson for a vet min. type deal, I'd be thrilled. Could be the stop-gap type player that could allow for Keenan Robinson and possibly another 3rd or 4th round draft pick to learn under. Rolling into 2014 with Riley, Jackson, Robinson, Chrstian Jones/Telvin Smith/Yawin Smallwood, Will Compton would be enticing. Nice mix of youth, prime (Riley) and vet (Jackson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 He's started 16 games each of the past 3 seasons and looks to have been productive. 30 years old isn't bad? We signed London at an older age and he was good for us for awhile. We need an experienced ILB and a leader. If he fits that profile and the front office/coaches feel he would be a good fit. Would any of us have a problem? He's worth more than Vet min IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobert Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 No way he gets Vet minimum deal, proven leader and solid player. Someone will pay him but I doubt it will be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This guy is a beast. He's 30 but has only been in the league since 2006 so I wouldn't be surprised if he has some decent miles left in the tank. Also, Jay Gruden had to play against him twice a year so I'm sure he's highly aware of his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We have a lot of cap room. We need an ILB and signing somebody like Jackson would free them up to focus on OL/DL/DB in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmohawk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If the Redskins announced the signed Jackson for a vet min. type deal, I'd be thrilled. While that would be awesome, it looks like Jackson and Cleaveland mutually parted ways because Cleveland did not want to pay him a $4 million roster bonus and next season's $2.6 million base salary. Doubtful he would then take vet. minimum elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful he would then take vet. minimum elsewhere. Okay, I didn't realize he was just 30. Fair enough. I mean even a $3m a year deal would be nice for 3-4 years to pair with Riley on a new deal. Draft Telvin Smith in the 4th to be a coverage specialist and Special Teams Stud and you're pretty much set at ILB for now and the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tomb Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 When does FA begin? Also, 30 y/o for a linebacker isn't bad - especially one as productive as DQ. I really wanted to draft him 6 years ago - count me in as someone who wants a chance at him. He would be the perfect replacement for Fletch in terms of leadership and experience.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If the Redskins announced the signed Jackson for a vet min. type deal, I'd be thrilled. Could be the stop-gap type player that could allow for Keenan Robinson and possibly another 3rd or 4th round draft pick to learn under. He's not signing for the vet min. He was due something like 9.5 million this season and Cleveland wanted to free up more room to re-sign pro-bowlers Mack/Ward. It's not like his play just dropped to the point of being replacement level (which is what the vet min is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 All relative to salary. Someone will pay him what he deserves. Which is sadly what we can ill afford. Nice idea but not really feasible given all our other needs, Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Drift Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Dansby signed a one year 2.25 million deal one year deal with Arizona. So I would say at the very least close to 3 million per year. We should definitely do it though. He is a stud and played in a simiar D with the Browns under Horton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes, should we sign um season is here. When you here things like "would this fantastic player sign for VM +I" and how that one signing will break our back, because we should fill 30 some holes on our roster with one draft. Seriously though, this would be great. Sign this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianfanforlife Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I guess he'd be a decent fill in until we can draft our future guy (if we haven't already). He was 7th in the league in combined tackles, pretty good, but tied for 37th in solo tackles with 75. The best he's ever done is 116 solo tackles back in '11. He's only averaging 75 solo tackles per season since he's been in the NFL & that's fairly pedestrian IMO. I'd be OK with bringing him in but no way should we give him a multi year multi million dollar contract. The Cerrato days are OVER! HTTR!!!

markmills67 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 2 days ago we thought we would have around $127m cap to play with, now it could be as much as $135, this will be a good signing for 2 or 3 years. We could sign Hall, Baker and Jackson for the extra cap, not bad start to FA for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Dansby and Jackson are 2 very different players. Very different at this stage of career too. They may be very different players, but their value shouldn't be too far apart from each other. Dansby, (the more talented LB) is entering his 11th season while Jackson is entering his 8th. IMO, the most important reason it's so important we sign D'Qwell is for what he will bring to the locker room. He would come immediately and assume the role of captain of our defense.
