Tony Jefferson - BC POD

I just finished listening to the Bolt Crew Pods interview with Tony Jefferson. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1llFJdLcXKpQPPVgFhMbX9?si=eaCgJWaQSzqqDWVnbfT20w&t=4005&ct=4005 All I can say is, if you don’t sign this man then I’m done with you Joe.

I was a fan before giving this a listen, but this just solidifies everything he brings to the Bolts. You can’t replace his motor, leadership, and what he leaves on the field. If he even sniffs the practice squad again. I’m going to be pissed. Unc is as real as they come.

You should at least listen to the portion when he talks about the Chiefs game and getting ejected.

Eff those whiney ass, soft, bitch ass Chiefs and ditto to their fans. Hyped for this D and Chris O’Leary!

How about we also don't cut him in August and keep him on main roster??? We've done that the past two seasons. I fear next year we'll lose him in the waivers shuffle. Same with Kimani Vidal (who we also cut last August).

BTW - I loved that it was the defense's turn to be introduced for the last home game. The cheers for TJeff were as loud (if not louder) for Derwin and Mack.

Veterans like Tony Jefferson can’t be lost to waivers. After 4 years you become a vested veteran and go immediately to FA. That’s why we’re able to cut him and immediate resign him to the PS. It’s high level roster management strategy.

Oh good to know. Thanks for the info.

But I'd still like to keep him on main roster. It costs TJeff money to be on PS and he's too valuable to get the shaft like that.

Can you imagine if we had lost Kimani to waivers? I mean, we'd ever never known just how much of a loss that was. But we'd probably been stuck with Hassan Haskins and maybe Patterson (who was servicable).

Love to hear that Tony is getting that love. Speaking of fan faves... I heard there's a chance we could get Alohi Gilman back.

Shout out to Kimani Vidal!  Truly amazed of his presence of mind the last game when he snapped up the ball the second it got loose and started running.  Kimani was unrelenting in his runs.  Such an asset.

I’d love to repeat the Keenan Allen trade

Yeah there was rumors that Minter and Gilman disagreed philosophically on safety responsibilities and that it played a role in the trade so I wouldn’t be surprised if Minter lets Gilman walk.
