The NFL playoffs are getting closer every week, so this means postseason contenders across the league are likely to sign a few players on the free agent market to prepare, and this could include linebacker Josey Jewell. Bleacher Report predicts that Jewell is still a top 10 free agent, even though his latest release from the Carolina Panthers was due to concussion symptoms, but there’s still a chance that he could return, as he’s likely to be healthy now. Barring any circumstances that he can’t play, he should be able to garner interest from teams that need linebacker depth at a minimum, as teams will be reluctant to start him.

The Panthers were hopeful to bring Jewell back once he is healthy, but it’s been quiet on his side, so it’s hard to imagine that teams will trust his abilities to go unless stated otherwise. However, when healthy, Jewell recorded 97 tackles, 3.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss and an interception to end his campaign last year. Although injuries caught up to him, Jewell has an open future and should earn at least a one-year contract. Originally selected fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the former Iowa product signed a three-year deal before the concussions.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t turn things in the right direction, but these four teams could present an opportunity.
