Giants releasing Janoris Jenkins (3 Viewers)

If it is, it dumbest reason to get release or fired. Man the PC culture has gone way over the line.

I agree with you... PC culture is rotten

Looks like the Giants Twitterverse is happy he's gone. Some want 1/3rd of the team gone.

I disagree that it's anything like a player working out a deal with the team he's being traded to. That's to benefit the team so that they're sure they're not just getting a rental of someone on an expiring contract.

If teams were willing to go to these lengths to circumvent the trade deadline, why wouldn't they just make a trade before the deadline so that the team that's releasing the player actually receives something for them? In your scenario, the team releasing the player has absolutely nothing to gain by participating in this.

The scenario would take place after the trade deadline most likely do to one of the participating teams being eliminated from contention or an injury occurring to a team still in the playoffs and them becoming desperate.

Obviously its not exactly the same as working out an extension that wasn't my point, my point was that players are sometimes involved in choosing/agreeing to a trade partner, for example Robert Quinn was allowed to make visits to the Saints and Cowboys, while still a member of the Dolphins to choose the team he preferred.

They don't receive nothing, its a player for a player swap, I release player A with a verbal agreement that he will immediately sign with you, you release player B with the understanding he immediately signs with me, bam we just made a trade after the trade deadline.

Oh, ok. I get what you're saying now. I guess that would all be possible. It just seems like the stars would have to align for something like that to take place. Jenkins and now Suggs were both released today and Suggs was supposedly released so he could catch on with a playoff team. Your scenario would have to take place for that to happen, IMO, since he has such a small salary left this year and his entire 2020 salary was signing bonus.

Before the tweet, what has he done that makes him a bad person? Some people let their emotions get to them. It’s hard to let someone bash you and not retaliate. He’s still a human being. I have heard nothing but good things about him before this. After all, he was on a team that is struggling.

It doesn't matter much anyway. I remember a couple of years ago that Payton called out Jenkins as a particular player that he wanted to target and he got roasted.

He's not that good and he's injured right now anyway.

I’m not trying to be a passive person in regards to this, but the Saints have a way less talented DB on the roster that has been in trouble recently. In fact, they have 3 or 4 players that have had trouble with the law. Granderson, Onyemata, and PJ to name a few. CGJ has had some issues as well. It’s one of those things where people can change given the right environment. I like to think the Saints have the organization that can help these players right the ship.

Unless I missed it, Chauncey has never had any law issues at all, didn’t transfer schools, etc.

He’s been garbage this year and wouldn’t even be an upgrade over Eli Apple.

Well the Giants as a whole are a garbage team starting with the HC. IIRC when Eli was up there they were just as terrible on both sides of the ball.

Sometimes new scenery / different coaches and winning cultures does wonders for players morale.

Has an athlete ever tweeted something that actually helped or advanced their career or image? Ever?

Welp, looks like this might be the first one.

Let me spare some people the wasted energy.... NO HE WILL NOT BE A SAINT.

Thanks!

And............now he’s a Saint. Crow shall be had for dinner in this thread.
