News: LBS: Jaylon Smith addresses reason Cowboys cut him

[nyc-cowboy]

Because he is 5th in depth chart at best in 22. You don't pay 9.2M to your 5 to h stringer who is a liability

Yes it was a rhetorical question

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I see him limp running faster than anyone I ever saw. Watch him run down hurts in the egirls game. I have never seen that before. Is he still wearing the brace that lifts his foot for him. He had to chase people..

Yep...he clearly is favoring movement there. Like he just can't put it in the dirt. And as soon as you are thinking of how to do that you've lost your instincts.

It's a great story...but Jaylon is going to have to be careful now. If he keeps this up he's going out looking like a clown instead of a dream story.

He calling himself elite to packer fans doesn't make it easier for himself. I remember during his red shirt rookie year he kept tweeting about how the nfl messed up letting him, Zeke and Dak be drafted together, and how he was going to make an impact that rookie season. Then he plays in 2017 and is beyond awful. Just shut up and play

Can’t hardly read the story because of the 100 adds between each line:

You got a bad case of adware. Had that on my Mac. You need to install an adware cleaner.

Does that work on iPhone

I don't know, I use a computer. Did not know you were on a phone.

You have adware on your iPhone? Didn’t know that could happen on your phone. I got adware on my Mac a few years ago from frequenting NFL streaming sites. It’s annoying!

 

[CWR]

He's not arrogant at all. Arrogance is being good and knowing it.

He's delusional.

Lol, true.

 

[Diehardblues]

He wasn’t going to even make the roster next year. And we couldn’t muster any trades for him this year.


Another risk this era on a 1st or 2nd round pick on defense which prevented us from more success .

LVE another one will be gone next year.

Your right. I guess we need to watch him move in 2019, that was his pro bowl year. I wonder if he was doing the same thing. I know the D-Line has a lot to do with how well they play. But LVE and I think Lee was helping. He looked like the surgery paid off. I heard last year or so that he injured the knee again but was no big deal. Maybe it was.

 

[Beaker42]

Micah Parsons is elite. Jaylon hasn't been elite since 2018.

He’s never been elite. Beginning to wonder if he can a drug test ……

 

[Beaker42]

lol. What do you expect him to say?

Hell, I bet everyone on this forum who reports to someone, tells that someone they are “elite” during annual reviews/whatever.

Pretty good would have still been lying. Average might be a stretch as well.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Jaylon came out on top. Gets to build his stock back up on a contender.

 

[Big_D]

What’s the over under on his release? Done in GB by week 12?

 

[Creeper]

Some people respond as if Jaylon is trying to suck. I think he wants to play at a high level, but unfortunately his injury prevents him from doing so, and he was not blessed with the ability to see things quickly enough to make up for his inability to get going after 1 step.

I still wish him well. And he is right about why he was cut. If not for the salary CAP I believe the Cowboys would keep him even next year. But his $9.2 million salary is a load the Cowboys will not be able to bear in 2022.

 

[Rockport]

Much respect for Jaylon but he’s not elite. Not even close.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

Jaylon, if you were elite your contract would’ve been relatively cheap.

Instead, you probably don’t belong in the NFL and if you didn’t have a known name you wouldn’t be in the NFL.

All very true, I can't see him lasting more than 3-4 games for the Packers.

 

[SHAMSzy]

what do you want him to say? every player should believe they’re elite or they wouldn’t make it in the NFL.

elite!?! LOLOLOL and some fans wonder why he gets so much hate

 

[BBGTYCOON]

Jaylon was an elite college player. He should have never been drafted by the Cowboys

He was an elite college 'athlete' with a career threatening injury and should've been drafted in the 4th round or later. The second round risk taking is a foolish pattern for the Jones crew.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

lmao, they cut him because they didn't want him poisoning the locker room because of his playing time getting cut more and more. The time was right and it was time to end the pity party.

"I was out there outrunning everybody on the field" shut up you gimp, you was out there avoiding contact and jumping on guys back 9 yards downfield. sheesh.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

It's his pink eye view.
