Quote:What exactly is it hurting to retain the rights to the player?

 

A. He doesn't cost the team a dime in pay.

B. He doesn't cost the team a roster spot.

C. He doesn't cost the team any PR headaches. (He is an afterthought to most. Had you not brought it up in this thread, nobody would have likely given this a moment's thought.)

 

So, what does the team stand to gain by cutting the player? Just one tangible thing. That's all and I'll shut up and agree with you.

 

Can't we play this game both ways? So essentially keeping him is the same as not keeping him? So why not just let him go? What tangible thing do we gain by retaining him? Is there a bigger chance he plays football again or gets arrested again? I'm just trying to figure out the logic here.

 

As long as he is affiliated with the Jaguars club he will be a PR stain for us. "There goes the No. 5 overall bust by the Jags getting arrested again..".
