The team had leverage, they used that leverage. It's tough, but it's business as well.
They also have leverage that they can use in some other areas as well.
Just me, but I don't see him having trouble finding a team. Hell, I think he would probably be at least 3rd best on any of the teams in our division.
But he was going to make the team. They wanted him to take a pay cut.
Most of us saw this coming from miles away.
However, there was a kid on here claiming Hurns was
better than Cobb and Cobb was not a lock for the 53.
Now I'm curious to know who it was?
Yea....no lol.suddenly Witten's back to being the slowest man on the team.
NON-AMPUTEE: Allen Hurns Cut!
Doesn't sound right.
I mean this is a part of the NFL. But then fans wonder why guys like Zeke are holding out.
So why ask a guy you want to cut to take a pay cut?That was far from any sort of certainty.
Sounds like what the doc would say after sliding the pieces back together or wrapping the cast.How about: "This Just in:"?
It doesn't remind me of the image of Hurns laying face down while his foot is facing up.
It was from the "Quincey Carter Era".
He signed a two year contract. He got hurt. He got screwed over by a crappy offense. Yet, he’s the one who has to pay. I get it. It’s business. And I don’t care if it’s true or not that Zeke is holding out. You think Zeke doesn’t understand that he’s being ran into the ground on his rookie deal? You think he doesn’t want a deal down now? Zeke knows he could potentially be Hurns in 4 or 5 years.Lets look at production levels between Hurns and Elliott and then tell me Elliott is worried the same thing will happen to him. Second, there has been ZERO, NADA, ZIP actual quotes from Elliott that he's planning to hold out. It's all been speculation by "insiders" who get as many things at least partially wrong as they get things right and have perpetuated this for clicks on their articles.

Ouch! That doesn't look too good on the "credibility resume"!
Predictable.
In fact, I predicted it months ago.
Maybe to get him competing for a roster spot on your terms rather than risking him getting injured and being stuck paying him?
If it was "a lock" he was making the team, he wouldn't be cut today.
Who said it was a lock? He’s not who I’d consider a lock by any means. Cooper and Gallup the only locks I see at receiver.Maybe to get him competing for a roster spot on your terms rather than risking him getting injured and being stuck paying him?
