Reiss: Jack Jones and Jake Bailey moved to "Reserve/Suspended"

This is interesting:

Yikes. Weird for Bailey to be on there. Not great for Jack though.

Makes you wonder if it's related somehow. Honestly, if a cornerback and punter are hanging out with each other enough to get in trouble together, I call that a team building success.

My real guess is something to do with them complaining/rebelling against the questionable coaching and coaches.

 

[Brick27]

Bailey couldn’t give less of an F, really. Move on if need be.

Would be a shame though with Jones if this manifests into something more than a hiccup.

Well, I love this team - have for a long time. Looks like they are consistently good at something

If this really goes south then it'll put a major dent in the value of the 2022 draft class. JJ was looking like a definite keeper.

The team benefits by suspending Bailey.

He had 4.5 million guaranteed for 2023.

If it seems like they're doing that over something minor, I'd expect a grievance to be filled.

That said, the really odd thing is that they backdated it to 12/31, which puts two games checks at risk for them. I have to wonder why the team is suddenly playing hardball over players on IR.

I would agree provided it does turn into something serious. Jones showed a lot of potential, but for a kid who has three more years to go on a rookie contract, hard to believe he would think he's above the rules. Obviously, this one needs more context before we make any real judgement. Definitely a strange development.

A weird season gets weirder. Can't wait to see this locker room without Slater and McCourty if things are already going sideways.

 

[Family]

Don't know if this is true.

 

[203Pat]

Don't know if this is true.

Nothing to see here folks.

 

[Froob]

If Jake Bailey is cheating and this is the performance he gave, he should be cut.

Yikes. Bad look trying to squeeze pennies from a punter.

It's not pennies. His 2023 salary was fully guaranteed. If the suspension isn't revoked, that guarantee is voided.

 

[FortressX]

Now if this goes to grievance don't the Patriots have to save half that money till the dispute is resolved ?

HGH? That would be a league suspension I think

 

[upstater1]

Jones's agent's post is troubling.

They are trying to come to an amicable resolution [of whatever the problem is].

But if they don't?

Has this agent explained to Jones that the Patriots own his rights?

This isn't like transferring to a new college.
