My sentiments exactly (btw, how is it you are not a mod?)

Jansen was a 4 yr starter at Mich, never missed a game, came here and started as a rookie from day 1. Hate to see him go but, football wise, it needed to happen. Now his fat contract will be off the books

We don't need any new mods and I argue too much probably.

I'll miss having Jon to kick around. He was underrated in his prime I think.

Wow! Didn't see this coming. I wonder how the cap is affected.
I saw it coming. I said it many times on the site. I was looking at how much salary cap space we had and thought that it was being saved just to release Jansen.

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.

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

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.

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.

Judging by his frequent work on NFLN as a player correspondent, I'd say this move is quite coincidentally timed to La Canfora's move.

SS, it's a moot point now that JJ has signed with the lowly lions, but I thought the same thing early on after JJ's release. But then, the WaPo would have to rename RI to Redskins Inside the Lines.

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.
