I expect more as some of the holdovers won’t make out of training camp. Then even some more won’t perform this season and will be gone next offseason.

Walker, Wagner, Luvu, Magee and I guess Davis. Not sure if I'm missing anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not out of the question. But clearly this organization values athleticism and Jamin is one heck of an athlete. I’m hopeful they can bring the best out of him this year but if they can’t then I’m happy to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Not sure in what world Jamin Davis gets cut. I get that people view him as a disappointment given his draft position, but he's a competent player and this team basically had no LBs besides him until March. Sure, it signed a few guys and drafted a Day 3 guy. But he's still one of their top 3 LBs and a bona fide NFL player. At worst, you trade a guy like that for a late round pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think they value character, ethical behavior, being forthright, transparent, and fully accountable for your actions, even more, and there are significant indications that Jamin may well be critically deficient in those qualities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, could see him getting shipped out for a late day 3 pick towards the end of the summer. Heck, maybe we find an OT on a team needing LB help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittman, Looking at Walker's history I think I can see him being one of those vets signed to the practice squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Jamin davis has been an adequate starter most of his career who's gotten incrementally better every year, mykal walker has bounced around rosters and practice squads. I wouldn't put him ahead of davis quite yet. Edited May 2 by redskinss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodpecker Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I think we’re stuck with Davis at least for this year, but I will be happy to see him go. He’s a daily reminder that Ron Rivera, while a man of character himself, was a poor judge of character in others. As has been stated, he’s not worthless as a player, so until we can upgrade he stays. But honestly, I’d rather not have him around our young players if possible. Just an awful draft pick by Rivera. Ron is a good coach, and a good man, but he simply did not have what it takes to be a GM, not even close. We would’ve been better off with Snidley and Vinny making the picks off Kuipers big board the last four years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t make the roster. How he is used will be interesting though - I’d like to see him used more in pass rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes down to a roster spot and you can add an OL and replace Davis with a cheap ST player, it's not the worst move. Also, I just want to add. I did not say the Davis is not making this roster. Just that I don't think it's a 100% lock. I don't know his personality in the lockerroom either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Davis is fine. Ron overdrafted him but can’t worry about that now. He’s good to hold down a starting LB spot for this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his film and play is good enough that he justifies his place. I wouldn’t be surprised if we use some 3-4 looks in base - we kind of have the personnel for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraphus Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Jamin might still get suspended for his street racing this year.. i wouldn't count on him contributing much before he gets cut or traded. Just another reminder of the atrocious job Rivera did as a HC and GM. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - the whole of Davis four year deal was guaranteed. The 5th year option is a team option and we declined that (to no great surprise). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Chaaarmnder Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I’m hoping that Bobby Wagner has more gas in the tank than everyone thinks, and can turn into a London Fletcher 2.0. Wishful thinking? Probably, but damn that would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking? Probably, but damn that would be cool. Lead the league in tackles last year, so I’m optimistic about ‘24. Beyond that? Who knows… hopefully he’s able to mentor up Davis and/or Magee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 If Charles Leno is in good condition following his hip surgery, I'm wondering what the level of interest would be in him rejoining the team. Would the team be interested? Would Leno be interested? If we still wanted to sign a veteran OT, would he be the choice over Donovan Smith or Andrus Peat (the other two names that I've heard most often in this regard)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of those picks where Ron thought he was smarter than everyone else, same with Forbes. When we drafted both of them, both times I thought to myself, what the heck was Ron thinking. He probably makes the roster, but I don’t expect much out of him, and wouldn’t mind if he gets cut. Hopefully for us, he will have a pretty good year, and shows great improvement and gets extended, or signs a decent enough deal next year elsewhere that he qualifies us for a comp pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, 3 of RR's top picks on defense will be in dogfights for playing time this year with 2 of them possibly on the roster bubble (Mathis, Forbes). Not to mention Ron's prize pick, Chase Young is already gone as is Sweat. What a testament to his time in DC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
