RELEASED Jaylon Smith released

[glimmerman]

Hard to believe this is about money. Are they saving money now to sign Gallup.

[conner01]

He just wasn’t a difference maker anymore

He wasn’t
I wanted to move on after the season
Just don’t get the point of releasing him since you have to pay him and he’s still better depth than who you could sign off the street

 

[NotForLong]

 

[glimmerman]

There had to be some kind of falling out with management over playing time.

If they wanted to cut him they would’ve done it long ago.

Maybe. Makes no sense. Unless a failed test. Or saving for Gallup.

 

[Rockport]

He worked his butt off.....I wish him well and I think the jokes are pretty shallow.
This is why players should get paid when they can. Some fans don't appreciate a damn thing and make hate jokes about one of their own players.

Yeah it’s disappointing to see all the lowlife comments.

 

[CATCH17]

I too think it's an attitude thing. He doesn't like his reduced snaps, and then maybe he demanded a trade and nobody wanted the deal, so they cut him.

Well remember a couple years ago he got a coach suspended because a coach called him out according to Broaddus.

 

[Stash]

Um….don’t get that. He’s been a decidedly average NFL linebacker this year playing a lower number of snaps. You already owe him all his money this season and you’re not going to get anyone better off the street.

Just seems like a pointless move that only hurts depth

I agree. And they look like idiots for not doing this in March before wasting $7 million.

 

[pupulehaole]

This is just money for Gallup, Wilson, Kearse, Schultz etc

Plus now puts Cox on the field more

Gallup wont be resigned. We got Wilson as his replacement.

 

[CowboyRoy]

So they were just waiting for Kneal to get back...................COX step on up!!!!!

 

[Risen Star]

I too think it's an attitude thing. He doesn't like his reduced snaps, and then maybe he demanded a trade and nobody wanted the deal, so they cut him.

Or they just saw Parsons and Neal long enough to figure out Jaylon can't play.

But I'm sure right now he's bracing for the league wide bidding war for his services.

 

[glimmerman]

Exactly. Something up.

 

[Malhavoc]

Young man made it back from something that almost ended his career. Lived his dream. He’s a wealthy man. Idk what the sport holds for him but like so many Cowboys wouldn’t be surprised to see him in someone’s studio as an analyst.

 

[conner01]

His contract is guaranteed for this season
I don’t see how it saves any money cutting him now over after the season

 

[Carson]

Gallup wont be resigned. We got Wilson as his replacement.

Was just naming some names off the top of my head

 

[CWR]

Breaking news- Jaylon signs with NY, will start vs Dallas.

Lol I kid, don't get me benched JoeKing.

Wonder where he ends up? Someone will take the bait. Let's hope it's not the Pats. BB supposedly wanted him in 2016. I dont ever want our released players going to him. Kills my confidence.

 

[CowboyRoy]

It’s a sign of a coaching staff constantly self-evaluating and looking for ways to improve, regardless of win-loss record. A refreshing change in Dallas.

JAYLON SUCKS!!!!!!
Game, Set, Match!!!!!

 

[StarBoyz83]

Never should have signed him in the first place.

I was done with him a few games into 2019.

 

[Risen Star]

The team has become a little more likable.

 

[Jarntt]

I am no Jaylon Smith fan and was screaming to do this before his contract guaranteed this year. But t this point I don't get it. He played ok the last 2 weeks. At least if you wait until all your DEs are back you don't need Micah at DE at all
