Joe Jurevicius released

[2yy4u]

I am all for signing hometown heroes as much as the next guy, but here's what we got outta an aging vet...

90 catches in 3 years- $111,111 per catch

6 TDs- $1,666,666 per TD

1109 yards-$9017 per yard receiving

2 staph infections- $5,000,000 per

Call me crazy, but doesn't seem like we got what we were hoping for. It's kinda like going to an Asian massage parlor, paying a cool G, and only getting a massage....just doesn't seem right.

Great player. Hate to see him go...but peen said you just can't keep a guy in this situation on the roster. Best of luck to him from here on out. he is a class act and a great teammate.

He is the type of guy you want in orange and brown.

And we move on!

As I just added in Sheps thread....forget it's JJ for a moment.....think how pissed people would have been had we just gone out a signed a 34 year old receiver who has had multiple knee surgeries, a bout with a serious staph infection and a back surgery in the past.

Would people have been happy about that???

Absolutely...................We traded Winslow and let Jones walk. I loved JJ and rooted for him. Stepping outside and looking in, I wouldn't sign him as a FA for $2.6 million or even any guaranteed amount. It's just not good business.

Looks like this staff is looking for guys who can practice all week and strap it up on Sunday and play. We have too many guys every week on the injury report that don't practice all week, then try to play.

We need a younger team with less cronic injuries.
