Jaguars Release David Garrard

This almost exactly what happened with Leftwich and the Jags just four years ago.

I'd take Colt over Garrard in a New York minute.

WTF??? I like Garrard. Too bad his receivers suck. I expect Del Rio to be gone after this season.

And if they're going to cut Garrard, why not just start Gabbert right away? Why McCown?

DG was due $8M this year.

Cap move more than anything. McCown can hold down the fort for a few games until Gabbert is ready.

So was there some type of beef between Garrard and the team. Because that's a bit of an FU move to release him right before the start of the season.

Had to be. Which is why it's shocking because it's so rare. He did have a high cap number, (9 mil) but still can't see why any HC would release their starting Vet QB 5 days before the opener, without not having a personal problem with him.

The NFL is a very ruthless business. Total shocker.

I heard Pat Kirwan predict this could happen last week on NFL Radio. Not a big surprise given his contract. He said it would basically come down to him taking a big pay cut or getting shown the door.

Garrard is ass. Maurice Jones-Drew carries that team and he can't even manage the game.

Was he due to start getting his money tomorrow? Even with the cap move, the timing seems odd

Yeah the timing is odd, but as you already pointed out they did this very same thing to Leftwich 4 years ago.
