Some want him off the team, any many want to see him at LB. This year, he has played 181 snaps, and has only been good at 30 snaps in coverage, along with special team. NOT quite what we were looking for from a #3 pick.

FYI, his contract makes him easily tradable for the trading team. They only have to pick up salaries, which are under $6 and $700K the next two years. Miami would have to eat a $6.6M cap hit because his money was in his signing bonus prorated @ $3.3M a year. He is going to cost us $5.6M next year if here, and $6.6M if moved.

Can't see doing anything other than hoping he works out for us in 2015.
 
Jordan would go somewhere else and become Lawrence Taylor. That would be our luck. It's absolutely astonishing that someone with his build can't even get on the field. I can't believe this guy would be a bust. Something's wrong.
 
What to do with Jordan the one player with the most big plays per snap on the team? Let's just cut him.
 
I'm i wrong in saying I see him as #91 Collins from the Patriots?
 
Let him continue to develop under the tutelage of Wake and Jason Taylor. The light goes on later for some people. Talk of cutting him or trading him at the expense of our salary cap is just the emotional side of football talking.

Agree, it makes no sense to throw away $6.6M in cap space for nothing but an open roster spot, and then have to pay more to fill it.
 
Find trade partner and eat the salary for this year. Its been two years and he has done the equivilant of an undrafted free agent.
And trading him you are not throwing anything away if you get something in return. We are never getting the money back or the two picks or the insanely high pick back.
Its laughable the people that want to compare him to Lawrence Taylor or Jason Taylor. He hasnt been a good player on field and he has been in trouble twice, not a good combo.

He should be doing the same things as Collins as a #3 draft pick but he's not. Collins is playing at a Pro Bowl level, but it shouldn't be a surprise that the Patriots get the best out of their players.

Jamie Collins in 2014: 100 Tackles, 3 sacks, 3 FF, 1 INT, 3 blocked FG/punt

Dion Jordan's career: 37 Tackles, 2 sacks, 1 blocked punt
 
Give him another year, hopefully with a more creative defensive coordinator. A player with his talent should be much better, but the coaching staff has misused him as well. I'd also get him some snaps at tight end, especially in the redzone. If Watt can do it, why not Jordan who actually has experience at tight end.

Look at Collins in NE. That would be Jordan in NE. Coaching is that important.
 
Lose weight and become coverage linebacker, his get off the snap is the worst I have seen. In coverage with his size and range he is one of the few that could cover the big play TEs out there.

Did you even read my post? Or did you just see LT and go into reaction mode? I'm just saying that this team has a habit of releasing players that have pretty good careers elsewhere.
