Who Should I Start? Akayleb Evans or Jack Jones

Saturday, November 23, 6:52 PM

Minnesota Vikings defensive back Akayleb Evans has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This seems like a bit of an odd move considering Evans was a full-time starter last season. He finished with 65 tackles, three fumbles forced, and one interception in 15 games with the Vikings in 2023. Since then, Evans has mainly been playing on special teams this season and has only two tackles in seven games. The former fourth-round pick will look to catch on elsewhere. There should be another organization willing to give the 25-year-old a chance to earn a spot on a roster.

The New England Patriots are waiving cornerback Jack Jones on Monday, according to his agent. Jones, a fourth-round selection in last year's draft, played only 10 snaps on defense in the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany on Sunday. Jones has missed five games this year due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on Injured Reserve, and he's seen his playing time decrease since coming back in Week 7. In 18 total games (two starts) for New England the last two seasons, he has 42 tackles (33 solo), three tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), seven passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 25-year-old should be able to latch on with another team quickly.
