Jonas Gray Released [9/14 Update - This Time By Dolphins]

Houston should pick him up to backup Blue.

Dikembe, I'm here if you need to talk...

Hold up on him being cut, yet:

League source: the Patriots are planning to move on from RB Jonas Gray, but don't dismiss the idea that he could be traded still.

Bolden is better than Gray?

Why not?

I am assuming this is all about his attitude, both last year for being late, then whining and moaning about it in media, and generally having a sense of entitlement after that one game against the colts.

BB clearly feels this is one moron whose ego he doesn't want to deal with.

And.......... I hate this move.

The people hammering Gray for allegedly having a bad attitude seem like the people hammering Brady for cheating. Both are working off what they BELIEVE instead of any available facts.

One fact we DO know. Our only remaining lead big RB, left his team and the field in the middle of a game last year and is suspended for game 1. We're putting a LOT of belief and prayers for health on LeGarrette Blount.

Meh, dime a dozen RB.

It's not that Gray is so good, it's that Blount is a poor starter that concerns me.

THIS at least makes some sense. He has trade value.

I still don't get it. They need cap space and this doesn't give them much savings.

Looks like we will be running the munchkin backfield week 1.

You've got to maximise value on the 53. Chris Harper, Rufus Johnson, David Andrews, Darius Fleming - all of them are probably worth more to the team than Gray. Can't keep them all.

This must mean they're going to sign Fred Jackson!*
















*Yes, I know...

The SI curse really f.ucked him up.

I talked to Travaris Cadet today and he seemed really confident. We now know why.

We're not going to be running much this year are we?

I am very curious to see what Cadet can bring. BB must have really liked something about him.

Gray was good but, this certainly isn't a castrophy. We've had success thrown any old back back there. What's Mike Cloud up to? As long as line doesn't block like dog **** like the PS we should do pretty well.

i didn't see it myself in those highlight tapes but in BB we trust.

Makes sense, roster jam at RB and Bolden/Lewis/White all offer more on 3rd/4th down

Click to expand...

Yes, but if Blount gets injured (or in game 1 for that matter) who carries on the first 2 downs?

I think that he was signed to the Eagles yesterday. They didn't have enough running backs on the roster. #chipkelly

The first surprise cut so far, I don't think anybody had him not making the team.

This is Jonas Gray's tweet after he was sent home from practice for showing up late. I 'BELIEVE' that is an 'available fact' that would allow some to question a persons attitude as a professional football player on a team that doesn't tolerate this sort of thing..

I saw another RB who gets tackled by the turf and can't juke a defender to save his own life.

Don't think I saw a single broken tackle in every touch he had in 2014 and saw multiple occasions where he had 2-3 yards of space between him and a defender and ran into the defenders arms because he could never make it around them.
