Jaguars Release David Garrard

Holy smokes. Stunner.

But we don't need Garrard, we have Jon Crompton.

Wonder why now with the season upon us? I guess they were thinking their rival Indy would grab him.

Hes not a fit here, decent QB

And the race for Andrew Luck is off and running!

Watching the bottom three or four teams this year is going to be hilarious.

Field Goal Kickers are going to be taking snaps under center during the last few games.

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.

I assume he was asked to take a pay cut and refused. Can anyone confirm that? But yeah...pretty shitty thing to do right before the season starts. I'd be willing to bet Bill Polian is on the phone w/ Garrad's agent.

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

12thMan · 09-06-2011, 03:34 PM

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

NC_Skins · 09-06-2011, 03:35 PM

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

SmootSmack · 09-06-2011, 03:36 PM

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.

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.

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.
