RELEASED Jaylon Smith released

[starfan1]

I can’t say I’m upset I hope we don’t lose a lb but now is time for Cox to start stepping up

 

[CowboyRoy]

If you don’t think Jerry made the final decision and it was all about the 9 mil then you need that old head checked

I guess we will never know. But the old Jerry would have held onto Jaylon at least till the end of this season. Just hoping to be right.

Hope Parsons is ready for all the Jaylon questions

 

[glimmerman]

They did but his snap count is still significantly higher than Cox’s….

Do you think this was a bad idea. I don’t think this is about money.

 

[NotForLong]

Does this upset the locker room?

Puts everyone in notice

 

[Buzzbait]

Well I get it now knowing he had a 9 mil injury guarantee for 2022

That must've been it.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Crap. Guess they are rolling with it. This just makes it more stranger. Bench him for depth.

Couldn't risk the guarantee for injury, I guess. $9M.

If we’d kept Byron we likely wouldn’t have drafted Diggs.

Nope
But Byron shows why you only give second contracts to elite players and he wasn’t elite and has been bad since leaving here

 

[manster4ever]

Belichick would approve of this move.

Oh.. He isn’t good at football? Then why is he a starter on our team?

Meh, he would have NEVER made it this far with Belicheat. Matter of fact, he would've never drafted him. Hey, he's a GREAT young man and represented the star with class but bidness is bidness. I wish him well.

 

[smitty313]

About time.

 

[CowboyRoy]

WOW! I'm really surprised at the timing. Will that save the team some salary cap space?
Has to be some kind of reason for the odd timing........?

IM thinking the coaching staff wanted him gone prior, but Jerry wouldnt do it. Then after watching the first 4 games he could no longer deny them.

What are they going to ask him?

9 million reasons to do it now
I get it
I wondered too why not keep for depth since you have to pay him but you don’t risk 9 million dollars for depth

 

[Risen Star]

Can you imagine Jaylon taking that call?

"You're releasing me? Me? How? I'm awesome!"

 

[Starforever]

The fact that you couldn't find a trade partner tells you how the rest of league sees him.

Not necessarily, do you know the price of a pack of Franks?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Holy ****, I'm starting to have renewed faith.

Yup! We're making the right decisions, and we got better by subtraction now. I wonder who we sign to replace him?

 

[stilltheguru]

What are they going to ask him?

You'll see tomorrow

Lame actually. We had a whole other thread with guys saying how great Jaylon played and now they get let off the hook.
