papasmurfbell Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 https://www.nfl.com/news/former-bears-all-pro-safety-eddie-jackson-signs-with-ravens I'm.not cool with the injury history. Any word on how big his deal is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 2 years to recover from a foot injury, struggled at strong safety,a natural free, should be interesting. When healthy, a very good cover man, with solid instincts. 1 year deal, can't be much more than vet minimum, can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Yeah...not so sure about this signing. Injured DBs at age 30 are risky to say the least. Couldn't find a thing about how much. If it is in the area of the vet minimum, I'm alright with it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the radio my understanding is he is more of a SS. Williams is supposed to be free. Jackson is strong allowing Hamilton to be the queen.

tsylvester Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I was going off of a bio on his struggles the past two years, both from recovery of the lis franc and position switch from free to strong. Now that he should be healthy and not being depenant on playing a ton of snaps, maybe, he should, be his old self again for a year...

oldno82 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Could be an important move, if he is recovered, as it frees up Hamilton to be Orr's chesspiece like MacDonald used him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 If Williams is hurt or whoever can slot in a SS then it limits what Hamilton can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Jackson signed for $1.25 million and a $250k bonus. Definitely reasonable for the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrubberRaven Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Better than a 2 year/14 mil contract given to 3rd stringer Stone by the Bengals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Sometimes stats are from circumstance instead of talent. The steelers will have buyers remorse too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
