Huh? How does this even make sense? Is if we have a plethora of good young healthy ILBs on the roster? Lol

That's...unexpected. Young was our best inside linebacker. I guess it's the Jones-Howard show (I don't want Reeder to play another starting down for us.)

And it's also interesting in this reason: Young is a free agent after this year. It's best that we got something for him, even if it's a faraway sixth.

For such little in return as well. He had his ups and downs, but that kind of trade is usually reserved for players you don't even want on your roster anymore.

I obviously see they like Reeder more than young which is fine

Reeder is quite good I don't know what you're watching. Putting Reeder on a WR isn't reeders fault btw. That's poor play design. Reeder has proven he can play when given a proper assignment

What the hell??? How do you trade him with no one on the roster to take his place?

Reeder was exposed yesterday, Jones hasn’t looked ready on the few plays he’s had.

Maybe someone else is coming???

Maybe he is playing out of position a lot?

How much was he being paid? And was he a free agent after this year? I still don't like it. He was a starter on a championship caliber team.

Reeder didn't look too good yesterday. And Ernest Jones hasn't shown much of anything on gameday. He must be having some outstanding practice sessions or Rapp must be getting ready to play some undersized LB, maybe?

More cap savings to bring in a CB?

His tackling has always been a problem. He never takes anyone down, he either misses completely or is dragged along for a ride.

I'm sick of his missed tackles. I'm sorry, but I want better speed and better change-of-direction skills when we're talking about an inside linebacker in coverage. Reeder can't even cover running backs and tight ends and when he does, he misses the tackle more often than not.
