Had to be done.

Re: Jansen Released!
 

Not too surprised it happened, surprised it happened before August though. Gave a decade of great service to this franchise, but his best days were behind him. Better to cut too soon than too late, as the say

By the way, I've got the perfect next career move for him...replacing LaCanfora as WaPo's Redskins Insider!

I wonder if he'll just hang 'em up? He probably has some opportunities in broadcasting waiting for him already.

[quote=Angry;560512]Honestly, I didn't understand how he "Won" his starting job back last year. The Starter "Heyer" beat him out in training camp, got hurt, and went to the bench the remainder of the season? That whole situation didn't make sense to me. And don't preach that crap to me about how it may have negatively affected the running game. That's a bunch of crap. I appreciated Jansen in his early years, but this was way overdue.

Good Riddance[/quote]

Damn dude I can see why your screen name is Angry. :laughing2

When he came in for Heyer he improved the offensive line last year and helped us win some games. Before Jansen started Clinton Portis rushed for 84, 96, and 68 yards. The next 5 games when Jansen started Portis rushed for 121, 145, 129, 175, and 126 yards. Thats why Jansen kept his job until he got hurt later in the season.

I think because it was done before June 1st dont have to pay him. So it saves them real money, cap hit stays the same. This will help them develop the young talent that have. Also helps cap situation next year.

There is no cap next year

Re: Jansen Released!
 

Jansen was a very good player for us for a long time, unfortunately the last couple years he's been ice skating out there. Good luck to him in the future! He's a smart guy and may have a career in the media or coaching.

Yes at this time there is no cap, but they will get something worked out. The nfl players and owner want to work something out.

Re: Jansen Released!
 

For what it's worth, the Cap Sheets include $2.0 million dollars worth of roster bonuses to Jansen that he will not earn. However media reports say that the Skins only owed Jansen $1 million in roster bonus. The $6.0 million in dead cap is not in dispute.

So the difference is a $2.7 million net cap hit if the Cap Sheets are correct, but it's $3.7 million of a hit if the media reports are correct.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;560521][B][/B]I really hope the FO acted with class in talking with him about the release, I certainly don't want to see him become a bitter guy and bash Snyder for the next 5-10 years. I also wonder if (conspiracy alert) ESPN980 was told to make room for him when they released BMitch[/quote]

It sounds like they did it the right way:

[url=http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Release_Long_Time_Right_Tackle_Jansen_38541.jsp]Redskins Release Long-Time Right Tackle Jansen[/url]

"Jansen met with Redskins owner Daniel M. Snyder, head coach Jim Zorn and executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato at Redskins Park on Friday morning.

'I’ve developed a close relationship with Jon and his family over the last 10 years and I have the utmost respect for him as a person and a player,' Snyder said. 'He has been an important part of our organization for the past decade. We wish Jon and his family the very best.'”

wanna bet? I think enough teams have prepared for the uncapped year that it will take a miracle to make it happen now. No way in hell does Danny Boy vote for a cap unless the agreement is astoundingly one-sided in the owner's favor.

I hope we have someone that will fill the loss in the run game

It's not a loss. He wasn't going to play anyways. It's not like we rottate in our best run blocking Linemen on running downs.
