“Under performance.”

 

[dsturgeon]

This is a cool program. I like it

 

[JW82]

Good. Hopefully he is putting that into an IRA asap....

 

[Vinnie2u]

So they should be taking money from Jaylon based on performance...

 

[JohnsKey19]

Darn good money for a guy who probably thought he wouldn't make an NFL roster this time last year.

 

[texbumthelife]

Not sure why this guy is getting hate. He went from street FA to starting in the NFL and did an admirable job considering. I'd have no problem keeping him and Knight as backups.

 

[Rayman70]

maybe they can garnish his wages based on performance as well.

 

[Floatyworm]

Conner Williams should owe money....

3rd stringers. Not back ups. If we have to play them again for any amount of time, that might mean our oline is injured again.

If s based on “snaps” and stats then Jaylon is probably doing well there since he was 2nd in the league in tackles....

 

[Rayman70]

yep. Garnish his pay.20% of his salary should revert back to the team cap.

They weren’t bad for young linemen coming straight in.

What are you guys gauging his play on? He was not bad last year....

 

[big dog cowboy]

Steele started 14 games and only had 4 penalties. Pretty good accomplishment for a UDFA.

[CapnB]

hopefully they all buy bitcoin

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

But these guys aren’t getting paid based on good film. They are getting paid based on snaps if I’m not mistaken.

I know we just making jokes at Jaylons expense..

Steele did a great job considering the circumstances.

He clearly was overmatched at times and wasn't ready for what they asked of him.

That's the part that concerns me.

The staff is willing to play a guy at RT that clearly wasn't ready.....yet dudes like Anae and Robinson get almost zero chance.

Are those two behind a guy like Steele at this stage, or is the staff just that bad at evaluating this?

Remember they chose Steele to start the opener instead of Knight, and were also reluctant to play Wilson early in the season.
