Underhill says nobody was placed on IR. Pisses me off they’re letting jaylon get away because if Werner or Davis goes down we are screwed
They talked about this on their YouTube show last night. They were all surprised about Jaylon, but after thinking about it, said that while he’s probably/clearly the 3rd best LB, we only play 2 and he doesn’t play special teams. It’s hard to justify dressing guys as part of only 46 spots when they ONLY have a role if someone gets hurt.
So not playing special teams hurts him. Not saying they won’t wind up re-signing him or try to figure out some way to keep him available in case Davis or Werner go down, just that if he was more versatile and played ST, he’d have much more value and would have probably easily made the 53.
Scott Shanle was on Moscona’s show yesterday and he asked Shanle about Jaylon. He said there’s a reason he’s been bouncing around from team to team the last few seasons and can’t stick anywhere. Not sure if he was talking strictly about his inability (or unwillingness?) to play special teams or something else. Wasn’t clear if he was even talking about Jaylon specifically or just in general about players like him at this point in their careers.
But Shanle wasn’t convinced that we had a handshake deal to sign him back after designating somebody to IR or wherever to open up a spot. And this was around 4 yesterday when that was the prevailing thought online for just about every Saints fan and media member who covers them.
