DT posted that he's been out since Day 4.

Which caused me to ask the question, had anyone heard that?

Because DT is the the first I remember mentioning it.

I feel like this is a good time to remind people that Matt Cole was a receiver before coming here 

I'm here to remind people that it was the Giants in 2021 that first tried him out at DB.

ZACH’S BACK: Zach Collaros returned to practice on Sunday after missing the last two days. He had returned home to Stuebenville after the passing of his grandmother Frankie Zanetos Collaros. She was 93.

He first mentioned Jeffcoat not practicing on Wednesday.  It was just termed a day off at the time though so maybe nothing to worry about?  Hard not to though, given his injury history.

Damn. I thought the Bombers still retained his rights in the CFL.

[bustamente]

It's possible we can't afford Kongbo, it's also possible he doesn't want to win🙃

[Bigblue204]

You gotta think Kongbos NFL window is pretty well closed...is kongbo worth cutting/trading Jeffcoat? 

Lions cut two to make the room. Including an aging DE.

[bustamente]

As a rotational rush end the Lemonator might have some juice left

[rebusrankin]

Man, that sucks about Kongbo.

Jeffcoat isn’t likely to play a full season at any point, our d needs that de rotation. 
 

the question is would he be worth cutting Castillo. 
 

this is the cost of greatness. You lose guys to the nfl and to free agency. It hurts that other than rose the guys who’ve gone down haven’t come back, but the lifeblood of a dynasty isn’t getting those guys back. The lifeblood is next man up.  
 We’ve gotta fill those gaps internally, same as yesterday.

Yhats what I mean though. I might actually take kongbo over Jeffcoat at this point as a 1 for 1 trade off.

You missed Alexander

To me he doesn't fall into the same category as the others. He is our safety.

What the ****

[GCn20]

We likely have no SMS room, and we just drafted Bennett.

[Dodge and Burn]

I got tired of hearing Jeffcoat did not practice 2 years ago.

I get that, but all the same I wouldn’t. Jeffcoat when healthy is modp quality. Ands he’s especially clutch in the play offs. 
 Pass rushers have a longer career than other positions too. His best football could still be ahead of him.

SMS isn’t in effect till the first week. But in effect they probably weren’t willing to cut guys that make up this kind of money. 

[rebusrankin]

Kongbo is from Surry. Maybe he wanted to go home.

bombers cut Tavaris Harrison and signed wr amare jones. Bit surprised Harrison is gone with out at least another pre season game after sticking all last year. Jones is a former dual threat qb all purpose offensive gimmick/kr guy.

Amare Jones seems like a more developed version of Greg Mccrae

[Geebrr]

5’11 195 lbs who can catch and run? That could be a problem.
