Browns cut 2018 3rd round LB Malik Jefferson

Big Rick in FL : 11/12/2019 5:38 pm
He was the 78th overall pick in 2018. He turns 23 in 3 days. He's worth a shot IMO. Doesn't hurt to bring in a young talented player.

Sy had him as his 7th ranked LB in 2018 and gave him the same grade as Leighton Vander Esch.

Has anybody seen him play for Cleveland?
Something interesting to note

He wasn't the Browns 3rd rounder.

The bengals drafted him, cut him, the Browns then signed him and then cut him.

Thanks! I should have pointed that out. Very odd though that he's been cut twice in 2 years.

I know nothing about Malik Jefferson, and you never know, but I'd say it's more telling than odd.

Not odd, he just stinks.
That’s why the draft isn’t an exact science.

More picks usually help you find a player.
UBER talented and athletic, but he's so underwhelming  
Anakim : 11/12/2019 6:39 pm : link
and probably doesn't have the football IQ to boot.



Still, this is a perfect case of kicking the tires and seeing if the light turns on. His athleticism and physical traits alone make him appealing.

That can at least make the Bengals and Browns.

I know that there is a lot of thought here on BBI about coaching, and are the coaches getting everything they should out of the young (and old) players. If that is the case, then maybe young players from Cincinnati, and Cleveland are also enjoying a lack of coaching. Who knows maybe another change of scenery is what Jefferson needs. A lot of poster, me included were looking forward to seeing Tuzar Skipper too.
Speaking of Bengals cuts

They just cut Preston Brown
All I know is he was really good at Texas  
PatersonPlank : 11/12/2019 9:28 pm : link
but he came out too early
Cut Twice in a year since being drafted fairly high?  
bradshaw44 : 11/12/2019 9:31 pm : link
Sounds like he will fit in nicely with the Giants.
If you bring in a guy like that  
81_Great_Dane : 11/13/2019 12:44 am : link
you are trying to figure out what he can do to help you win. Apparently he’s not very good at playing linebacker. So what IS he good at? Can he be an in-the-box safety? A gunner on special teams? Something??? If you can’t find something he’s good at, no point in keeping him.
Let's not make the classic mistake

of thinking our coaching staff can fix him.
Sign him to the practice squad  
Rudy5757 : 11/13/2019 9:18 am : link
if hes eligible. Looks like he had a foot injury as a rookie and didnt recover. maybe that is still a lingering issue. I would kick the tires. He is still young and was rated very high in the draft. Can he really be worse than what we keep trotting out there? Plus we have a bye so its a good week to try players out.
