Question for the Zoners. When is the last time a player lost his job solely based on performance? Nothing about injury or off field issues. Just performance. I honestly can’t come up with one
Good question.
I would make the question specific to demoted without an injury being the issue.

Connor Williams (2018) - Injury Related (partially)
Heath - Injury Related
CB Brown - Injury Related
Jarwin - Witten re-signed
Crawford - Became non-starter when Quinn returned but Crawford had injury issues.
Allen Hurns:
Was top 2 in WR snaps played to start the season.
Became the 3rd WR in snaps played before Cooper arrived.
Become the 4th WR in snaps played after Cooper arrived.
Taco:
He started the first 7 games in 2018.
Crawford had started the first 7 games at DT.
Collins was healthy enough to start at DT for game 8.
Crawford moved back to RDE as the starter.
Taco reacted badly to the "demotion" which caused him to be inactive for game 9.
It is not certain if game 8 was really a demotion for just Crawford moving back to RDE where he had started in 2017.
New Starters in the past 2 seasons:
X.Woods - Jones moved to CB.
A.Woods - They didn't really have an incumbent 1-tech DT. Paea/Price injured in 2017 forcing Collins to play 1-tech.
B.Jones at CB - Scandrick gone from previous season.
Quinn - Free Agent that replaced Crawford as the starter at RDE.
Connor Williams - Jonathan Cooper not re-signed.
Witten - Just got his old job back.
Gallup - Bypassed Hurns.
Cooper - Added in trade.
