What if Jake retired?

[weyco2000]

Yes, I know I'm reaching here on this one. However, it looks like we would absorb his contract for that year, if he were to retire before June 1. After June 1 it would count for that year and the next. IDK by his play looks as if his arm has never healed from his surgery. Maybe a new coaching staff could convince him to retire? How would cutting him effect us? I'll not mention a trade... but there's always Daniel Snyder!

Doesn't matter, it's not happening.

I actually think Jake may retire if Fox gets fired.

[weyco2000]

I tend to agree, he looks like a deer in headlights back there. If Fox continues to keep marching him out there every bad play, it could effect this team negatively, for this year and years to come.

If Jake retired the boards would cheer all the way up until the reality of the Matt Moore era manifested itself on the field and bit them in the ass.

I'd rather him take a back seat and mentoring role to some new blood for a year, rather than straight up retiring.

instead of starting a new thread I will piggyback here....

I like Jake, always have...however has anyone else noticed this and last season Jake seems to less Jake-like? I am not talking about play but more his attitude. Jake use to be in your face, crying, whinning, bitching, moaning......from pregame to post game...every down inbetween. What? Gross was called for a false start? Old Jake would throw a fit to the ref. Opposing fans hated it but I felt it actually served a purpose to his team. Now, Jake always looks medicate and sad sitting on the bench before kickoff and outside a couple huge plays late in the game or his every day errors....he doesn't come off as emotionally involved each snap. I use to think his overraction and involvement to his teammates use to serve a purpose even if it was annoying....

.....anyone else notice that?

Yes he looks defeated most of the time thus far in regular season CRA... whether we are winning or not.

Why in the hell would Jake retire, when he is due a $10.14 million "signing" bonus?

He would just ride the bench to get that, as would anyone.

How would Jake's retirement affect the salary cap?
