Now that's weird.

 

Something off the field we don't know about?

Yeah. There must be more we dont know.. There were questions as to why he didnt get more playing time in Pittsburgh last year.  This move now pretty much confirms that people were too high on him.  Where are those charts comparing JNo to Boykin now??

I don't think this is how you go about it. We just signed the guy, and before even seeing him in pads, we let him go? He passes up other good offers to come here, and then you do this to him? 

Now, there could be some off field stuff but I doubt that with Boykin.

If you're a vet looking for a new team, this looks really bad for us as a team.  He came here pretty cheap, wouldn't surprise me if he took less to come here than somewhere else, then gets cut after all the FA stuff has slowed down.

I just don't understand this, unless some more info comes out, but I'm not sure how you take some rookie(s) over a guy with experience.

That's exactly what happened. He said in the thread I bumped that he took less money to come here and had offers from 4 other teams.

OR MAYBE MAYBE

we intend to start our rookies and since we had promised Boykin a starting position/playing time- we were doing him a favor by letting him go seek out a starting position on a different team

IT'S WEIRD THAT WE MIGHT NOT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY THO AMIRITE

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
