Speaks has a weird personality to go along with his laziness. I was hoping he was that soft spoken, silent type that rip people’s heads off on Sundays. Just take a second to re-watch his interviews. Instead, he’s just a lazy dude with a lot of untapped talent.

I think we all forgot dude caught a suspension while on IR too.

He would have stuck around during the Carl days because Carl couldnt find talent. Veach already had Tanoh who improved every year, Charlton, Okafor, and drafted a guy Danna who by all reports was doing a great job. The first 3 mentioned can probably get you 8 sacks a piece and a few of them are solid run guys so yea no surprise he didnt make it. What is surprising is that he didnt catch on with some shitty team.

How bad must he be when he was just a few years removed from being a second round pick and now can’t even get picked up on waivers?

It was easy to have hope for the guy. He was a consensus 2nd-team all SEC player that was consistently disruptive, although not spectacular.

Apparently, he was another one of those guys that cruised through college on his natural talent and didn't feel like he actually had to work at it.

Pretty disappointing honestly.

Career earnings of about $3.5 million for one season of play, and little worry of long-term health issues. Breeland should have about $1.3 million in the bank right now, so he can invest that money and put that Mississippi degree in Criminal Justice to work.

Taco Charlton was a 1st round pick that started 5 games last year for the Dolphins and finished with 5 sacks, 21 tackles and 2 Forced Fumbles.

He was waived by Miami and no one claimed him.

I think Taco is an upgrade over Speaks...apparently so do Veach and Spags...

Taco will be bringing the sauce this year.

Charlton has a ton of talent. If he can learn the defense and stay healthy, he's an upgrade over most of the guys on this roster not named Clark or Jones. ;)

I'm sure it's been said before in this thread, but as disappointing as Speaks is, I'm grateful that unlike previous regimes, they can recognize and own their own mistakes quickly and move forward. Sucks to bomb on a 2nd round pick, but sucks even more to stubbornly believe he'll figure it out when clearly, at least here, he won't.

So much for the narrative many here pushed, that he was told to come in heavy in order to be an end/tackle tweener

Has anyone done a wellness check on staylor?
