Don't understand why it took so long. Another Gettleman gem by alot of people on here except me.

Took so long because of the insurance of having a body in camp/spreading out the hit to cut him as a post June 1st cut it seems. 

Yeah, he wasn't very good. Good STer, but not a good receiver. 

Good news is is that he'll be cut and it won't really hurt us financially.

The last sentence makes no sense. "By a lot of people on here except me." So if it was only a lot of people on here, then it would not be except you. It would have had to be everyone for it to be except you, which wasn't the case. There were many people on here who didn't like the signing because they chose him over Ginn.

also strange you felt it was necessary to make the same exact point twice in duplicate threads. You have really proved to all of us your eye as a scout and it is a damn shame the Giants hired Gettleman over you.

And me...I never understood it. Desean Jackson was available, as we're another handful of solid vets, and we get Russel fuging Sheppard.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
