There’s nothing more to it than these 3 reason’s :

1) His play is not commensurate with his contract.
2) If he gets injured playing this year until next he is guaranteed $9.2 million next year.
3) Want a clear leader change on the defensive side in the locker room.

If so, Need to give 90 the axe as well. 90 is the founder of the HotBoyz. Jaclyn was simply 2nd in command and temporary "leader" when 90 has been rehabbing that foot.

I hate this move. He's looked like a serviceable starter this year and without him, they're leaning on two rookies, one of which thst hasn't played any meaningful snaps against starting defenses, a guy that can't stay healthy in LVE, a converted safety, a non-converted safety, and a couple of guys that are total question marks in Gifford and Bernard.

This defense has been hot. Why make the move now? The team is primed to make a run and they cut quality depth 4 1/2 weeks into the season? We have no clue if Cox can play. We have no clue if Neal can stay healthy at his new position or hold up against the wear and tear of a 17 game season. Likewise for LVE and truthfully, he hasn't looked good this year. Kearse is your starting SS and I'm seeing him penciled in at nickel LB. That's an issue!

Rejoice all you want. I didn't think he would last till day 5 of the new league year but to cut him now is a dangerous game that potentially affects team chemistry and weakens the depth chart.

Please there is no room for logic or common sense tonight . Just go with the flow and nod your head politely .

Well this is a surprise to read when getting up this morning…
It’s the right decision, there’s no doubting he’s a nice guy who has worked his butt off trying to get back from an injury that most would have had their careers ended immediately from… but he’s clearly struggling on the field and is a liability.
He’ll be a rich man so no need for anyone to feel sorry for him, professional sport is cut throat.
Great to see the staff have taken the decision to cut him as it shows that attitudes are changing here at last…
