Giants releasing Janoris Jenkins (1 Viewer)

[gavinj]

No thanks. He's proven what kind of person he is. Let some trash organization pick him up.

He called somebody a retard and then refused to apologize for it. I guess he could run for President if the football thing is over ?‍

Thank you. That's what I thought. He doesn't have to go through waivers.

This is great. I was listening on Sirius and they said he has todo waivers. Hopefully, he isn’t hurt enough to be out.

The Browns Safety that was released for threatening a fan over the internet set a precedent that teams won't accept that type of behavior, he deserves to be released just for the lack of awareness on the situation. Players are responsible for what they post on social media.

I agree but all depends on content. But people will take it however they feel. Threatening a fan is one thing but saying a word that people decided within the past 2 years as "offensive" isn't a good reason to be released from their job. Just my opinion, of course.

Who is eligible to go through the waiver wire?

When an NFL team releases a player who has less than four years of NFL service, he is subject to the waiver wire process. NFL players who are released and have four or more years of accrued time in the league become immediate free agents. Accrued seasons are earned by being on the active 53-man roster for a team for six games in a single regular season, or being on an injury list for six games in a regular season.

Jenkins has been in the NFL since 2012.

Yeah, he is an immediate free agent

That was completely different.

On June 1, 2009, Jenkins was arrested near a bar by Gainesville Police for fighting and resisting arrest after punching a man in the head around 2:00 a.m. Police were forced to use a taser on Jenkins after fighting escalated. When asked why the fight started, Jenkins told police it was because he thought someone was going to steal the gold chain around his neck.[59]

On April 23, 2011, Jenkins was cited by a Gainesville police officer and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. He was cited for the same violation in January 2011, and paid a $316 fine. He was arrested in May 2009 during a downtown Gainesville fight that resulted in probation and community service. On April 26, 2011, he was dismissed by the Florida Gators football team, due to his second drug related arrest in three months.[60]

On June 26, 2018, a dead body was found in the basement of Jenkins' New Jersey home, identified as a family friend who had been living at the house. Jenkins' brother was identified as a person of interest.[61][62]

Don't forget that this happened too. And in college, he had to transfer from Florida to some no name school not only for the arrests listed above but he kept failing drug tests for weed too.

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.

Don't forget that this happened too. And in college, he had to transfer from Florida to some no name school not only for the arrests listed above but he kept failing drug tests for weed too.

See the quote in my post above with his history of being trouble.

ETA: Granted, it appeared that he'd learned his lesson after getting the boot from Florida, but the dead body thing with his brother being the prime suspect recently and then going off on fans shows serious maturity issues. And for someone who's been in the league as long as he has, you'd think he'd have grown up by now.

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.

Don't think this is the case after the trade deadline has passed. After that point, anyone that is released has to pass through waivers.

 

[efil4stnias]

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

If i call one of my clients a derogatory name on Twitter, my boss should pat me on the back?

Correct...

Once the waiver period starts each year through the trading deadline, a vested veteran — a player who has acquired four years of pension credit — is not subject to the waiver system if the club decides to release him. That means if a team decides to release a vested veteran, the league considers his contract to be terminated immediately and he is free to negotiate and sign with any other club. From the trading deadline through the end of the regular season, vested veterans are subject to the waiver process.

That was completely different.

The offenses varied in degrees of severity, but the principal point is that they both represented their organizations in a negative light by having inappropriate interactions with Fans over social media. In Jenkin's case he showed stubbornness, and ignorance in the matter by not acknowledging his mistake, and remains unapologetic.

Right, I understand that. I've been for giving players a second chance. Anthony Hargrove was signed after being kicked out of the league for substance abuse and we resurrected his career until Goodell stole the rest of it from him. I wanted us to sign Jenkins when he left STL.

PJ, Onyemata, etc. were DWIs and the like. Not battery and multiple drug arrests in a span of months. I thought he'd grown up but he's acting like a child now while not even able to play. And CJGJ didn't have any off the field issues I'm aware of. He just had a reputation as a trash talker and borderline dirty player. Granderson got railroaded and that has been thoroughly discussed and you know the Saints did their homework before making him the highest paid UDFA in the league.
