Whoops, sorry, guess that's one unintended consequence of putting people on ignore!

(Thought it was strange no one was talking about it!)

I’d argue this season he’s been worse than Jaylon. But them being on the field together was hurting LVE…..

not sure what you are watching. Leighton has been bad when it comes to gap discipline a few plays but when it comes to making plays LVE has been infinitely better. LVE can shed a block, he has made a few splash plays. Jaylon doesnt have a single tackle for a loss this season. LVE has been better than Jaylon this year.

The timing of this is beyond stunning.

It really is. Still trying to process it.

Not that I don't agree....but why NOW?

Why not last March? Before the guarantee?

The reason being given was that the team was scared that Jaylon might suffer an injury and not be able to pass a physical in March, which would guarantee his $9 million in salary for 2022. Essentially, they were A-OK wasting $7 million on him in 2021 but $9 million in 2022 is a no-can-do!

I read he was already guaranteed this year because he got wrist surgery. They did want it to happen again.

I like this, but hate this. Should have been done when we could save a buck. Frustrating, but I'm happy to see that they're willing to move on regardless of the situation.

This is one of those statement moves. It'll shake the money tree.

That’s what’s been disturbing. Physically LVE can do everything Jaylon can’t yet Jaylon was the one who they trusted to spy on Hurts.

Man I can’t either. I’d even go as far as to say he didn’t deserve it. But it’s all over now or should be anyway.

I honestly thought he was playing better this season than last year. Rarely do you see a notable player who’s receiving significant snaps get released during the season when you’re winning. It’s kind of a head scratcher to be honest.

Yeah and this excuse of being afraid of injury? Not buying that either.

Since I was at the game Sunday, I witnessed Jaylon's last game as a Cowboy and that's pretty cool because I'm glad he's gone. Was a liability on the field and had some of the goofiest, cringiest film I've ever seen. Made business decisions on the field, and I always questioned whether or not he even loved the game.

Lol at the cornbread baby boomers defending millionaires on here.
