RELEASED Jaylon Smith released

[Dreski]

To the practice squad!

 

[cowboyec]

wow.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Must be a fallout , playing time , benching etc… ego clash

Has to be because if you thought he was that bad why were they playing him to begin with?

 

[CowboyRoy]

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

Because he is the WORST linebacker on the team. Not only that but he is a total clown. He represents the past and we need to go into the future. Its like some dork that sucks acting like he is the leader of the football team. Get him the hell outta here.

 

[AtomicDog]

Your profile pic looks like Anton Chigurh. Who are you to talk of another man’s heart.

I just respond to the dude's criticism. That pic is the great human Carl Sagan

 

[Fmart322]

Maybe the "Jimmy Curse" was a real thing!!

How does the Jimmy curse apply here?
Interested in hearing.

 

[Risen Star]

This is why I laughed when I watched the video of Micah getting drafted and his family's talking about getting to play with Jaylon.

I figured it would be for one year but this is better.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

feel bad for a guy whose been stealing money for years

man, some fans ……

It's not your money so who the hell cares what he was making? He's a good dude and busted his *** to get back to form after a devastating injury. I'll always root for guys that work hard.

Some fans, indeed. Idiots.

 

[NotForLong]

Yeah I liked him for depth since we owe him money….

Mmmmm . . . lol

 

[CWR]

One thing I have to give him, he has a wonderful positive outlook. God bless him, it's annoying as hell at times, but good for him.

 

[reddyuta]

thank you jerry,own upto to your mistake of drafting and insanely giving him a new contract.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I beg to differ. There are better linebackers on the street right now. This move suggests that. I’m guessing they like one of the practice squad players more. All Jaylon did was steal reps, honestly. If anything, I bet the staff regrets not doing this sooner. This should have happened in the off-season.

Cant have some fake leader like that mucking up the chemistry.

 

[NickZepp]

Under Merinelli both Vander Esch and Smith looked like future stars in this league. Last year they both were just completely out of the game psychologically. I guess they are just gonna let LVE play out the rest of the contract and let him go too. The Mike Nolan hire has proven to be a complete disaster overall.

 

[Zordon]

And @Zordon Jaylon the type to sign in nfc east and play us and get tough all of a sudden lol. No more helping people up smh

Highly doubt it. This dude doesn't like football breh.

 

[Big_D]

This is fantastic news and that roster spot will go to someone more deserving!

 

[Starforever]

What I don't understand is, why say he was a progress stopper for Cox, when you weren't playing Cox that much?

LVE, has not been jumping off the screen, so they may have plans of bringing in someone else. LVE, cannot run with RB's, TE's and shallow receivers.

 

[Blake]

It's sad if true. To have been that good in college with so much potential, to get such a devastating injury in the last game of an incredible college career, to see a glimpse of success and what could be, to have been so close to recovered but hurt just enough to lose a precious NFL step.....it's like a tease. He's got to be devastated.

But worse.....to have people who call themselves Cowboy fans insult your dedication, personality, and physical struggle, to use those kind of words to describe Jaylon Smith, to incur hatred simply by giving everything he had to realize a life long dream.....it's sad.

His attitude wasn’t right regardless.

 

[CWR]

Anyone looking at tape would never sign this guy.

You would think, but I'm wagering he gets signed somewhere.

He put out better tape this year too. He can be depth. The question is what role will he accept.

 

[Rockport]

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

Sounds like he may have been causing locker room issues.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

People bash Big Mike. I like the dude.

They bash him because he's a horrible game manager. Other than that he's great.
