Used to be a solid cover LB.

The days of AJ Klein leaving the family RV to cover Travis Kelce in the playoffs is a thing of the past.

Seems like a camp body, kick the tires so to speak.

Well that’s a glowing review, especially since he “used to be.” 😅

This off season they've brought in Morrow and drafted LBer late combined with how almost secretive they have been about the Milano injury since day 1 while having a guy they liked enough to draft in Round 3 last year and Spector. And now this. 

 

They aren't approaching the LBer room in a way that leads me to believe they think an All Pro LBer is returning at the start of the season. Not saying he's not, of course. Just taking a lot of bites at the LBer apple for a team that only plays 2 at a time (with some coverage on STs.)

He’s also faster than Keon Coleman

Still only 29 until November. It’s not like he was covering Jim Brown on wheel routes.

96 starts in his career.  Brings a lot of experience.

 

Ran a 4.38 40 at the combine 8 years ago.  Wonder how much of that speed he still possesses?  

 

PFF rated him as the 7th best LB in the league back in 2021 but only graded him a 66.3 last season in limited action as a backup.

sounds like maybe he was hurt, or coming back from an injury?

I don't think signing guys like Morrow and Jones and spending a late 5th on a LB speaks to their concern of Milano's availability.

 

If there were concern there, they'd have done something more than these moves. Morrow and Jones are considered fringe players and Ulofoshio is a development player. You have to keep in mind that we lost Tyrel Dodson, Tyler Matakevitch, and AJ Klein this offseason. I don't see any way both Morrow and Jones make it to the 53. 

 

Jones at this stage in his career is a Camp Battle body. He was traded to Cleveland along with a 7th Round Pick in exchange for a 6th in 2022. He signed with Carolina in 2023, didn't make the 53, and was re-signed to the Practice Squad.

Great signing, 3 years ago...
