    He is replaceable, I agree. But why replace him and use draft picks to fill his spot?? IMO we have wayyy to many holes to let ILB become another one. If he wont sign for a reasonable contract then thats a problem because i agree he is not worth the big money. but if we do keep his right and/or sign him to a reasonable contract, thats one less position for the Browns to worry about.

    You don't think the guys in place now are able to replace his production? The D did just fine with Trusnik, Maiava, Bowens, etc. taking his snaps. Add in Cocong and Veikune (1 year of learning to transition from DE to ILB), and that makes me pretty confident that the Browns can find someone capable of providing poor zone coverage over the middle and making tackles on RBs after five yard gains.

    I am all for letting him walk and using our already on-hand depth to replace him. Getting a pick would be gravy.

    Yea maybe you're right, i think of those LBs mentioned and think of special teams players and at most average linebackers. Maybe im wrong, but I think Jackson could start on some other teams, whereas none of those guys would ever crack a NFL starting lineup. If Jackson wants too much, let him walk or get a 3rd or 4th for him, but id rather sign him to a resonable contract because i think he is better than his backups..

    I believe Jackson IS expendable for one very simple reason: He really has not been all that good, at least not as good as we think he should be, and not nearly as good as he thinks he is. He is an eminently replaceable commodity.

    I don't have a problem keeping him at all if that is what the Browns want to do. It is just a fact though that he ain't the second coming that he thinks he is, and for him to be upset about his contract situation is ludicrous.
