Jason Avant Cut

[Mol3m4n]

So just add another player to an already overcrowded WR/RB core and deplete even further the OL? Brilliant.

Y'all are bitching just to bitch. Avant probably knew he was getting cut before he even said that crap. Besides, when you're the worst player at your position on your team you shouldn't go around blasting coaches. It's not gonna end well for you.

 

You obviously don't get my point. We already IR'd Chandler. There is no need to bring up Presley.

[Dexterity]

There is no need to bring up Presley.

There is no need to keep a useless player who bashes his team either.

[Mol3m4n]

There is no need to keep a useless player who bashes his team either.

 

So there is a need to keep a useless coach with no accountability?

You know, if they would have just cut Avant I wouldn't have cared because I personally think that our 3 rookies are better than him. 

 

 

The reasoning behind the release is just bullshit though. So they're now punishing players for being pissed off and actually caring about the teams future but they still refuse to punish the coaches for being awful? Yeah, David Gettleman is losing me more and more every single day.

[Happy Panther]

Vets that are part of the 53 after week 1 have their salaries guaranteed for the year, so he'll be paid no matter what.

Ah right. Did not know that.

That's an assumption. All parties say it has nothing to do with it.

Yes...until the season is over

[tiger7_88]

Why the consternation over Avant? He was a bum, still is. Means Philly sees the field more. I'm OK with that.

Some of y'all have difficulty managing more than one track at a time, don't you?

[OriginalPantherDan]

I have no earthly idea what that means.

If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

One doesn't necessarily correlate to the other.

[MadHatter]

Coaches have just as much pull in cuts as the gm. This has ron written all over it.

Uhhhhh.....no they don't. Not with most teams.

I agree with Avant's statement 100%. But I have more of a problem with a player taking his comments to the media than I do our FO handling him for doing it. Mix in the fact that he wasn't producing, our season is over, and we have some young guys to take a look at then "bye bye Jason". Everyone keeps saying RR has lost the locker room - well players should know they don't speak outside of it and criticize what's going on to the media. The percentage of truth in their statement is irrelevant.

Finally some proper perspective. Would pie again.

[RJK]

This is why the QB and supposed leader of the team needs to say something. Instead a low level player tried to lead since nobody else will and got shown the door. Pathetic weak franchise
