It's hard to say you feel sorry for a guy who loses his job but has collected $31 million. Nevertheless, I do feel sorry for him. I never thought he recovered from his leg injury.

He went from slip-sliding across the field because he couldn't redirect his motion to laboring to even run. It was obviously noticeable.

And watching him evade the hole, take himself out of position and looking generally confused on the field was excruciating.

I wish him well, but this was a decision that was long overdue. And, honestly, I expect our linebacking corps to perform even better. I really think some of those long runs were the result of Jaylon being out of position or not making the play.

He has $31 million to swipe, er, wipe his tears on. He won't have to work for the rest of his life, if he's invested his money wisely.

And THAT is the real clear I view.

It’s been reported that he wasn’t cut because of his play though.

Stephen is involved with this somehow.

We are finally starting to win again.

And they want to save money.

Or course, there is still a dead cap hit in 2022.

And they still have to pay for 2021.

This is why we dont have nice things. Aka trophies.

None of this makes any football sense.

There is more to this.

Well that part was happening anyway.

But yep....

Edit....just goes to show how badly Jerry got hosed on that language. They weren't even in danger of losing the player.

Oh I know but I’m talking in terms of opportunities. Garrett still doesn’t give Barkley enough opportunities with the football.

No just the slants. Most of us know that he was not good, but to give others a pass is slanted. Lawrence, being next on the list only solidifies the backwards thinking of some. Putting him and Jaylon in the same category is ridiculous.

Why? Wouldn’t you consider both to be overpaid based on their production? That’s what this is about. It’s not any ‘personal hate’.

True. But he also got snaps over guys like Cox which leads me to believe it wasn’t just performance based.

True. But if he is performing at top level, do we even try to promote younger guys like Cox?
I don't doubt the injury guarantee likely had a lot to do with it. But if it's Lawrence Taylor who breaks his leg and is coming back from injury with the same situation, I doubt the coaches wouldn't suck it up and take the risk based on who he is. Jaylon Smith never was going to reach LT's level or even in the ball park. So, the injury risk wasn't worth the reward.
But you have a valid point.

Some rookies (Cox) take longer to learn and adapt to the pro game than others (Parsons). If Cox is now showing them something that says he is ready to get on the field, along with Neal proving he was a LB and now coming back from COVID, then it makes sense. That’s one possible theory.
