“Great player but not worth tying up cap money for future years. Great heart, Sad case.”

What cap? There is no cap. Hasn’t been for over a year.

Nice try at being a smart ass but I think there just might be one in the new CBA…just a hunch.

He’s played in nine games the last three seasons. Dude is done.

Most people said the same thing about Vick before this season too. He had a bad run of totally unrelated injuries. Its not like he blew both knees out or something.

They showed remarkable patience and understanding with all his injuries, and paid the man for rarely playing for the past three years. Sanders should feel gratitude. Getting cut is not an example of the NFL being a cruel business; Sanders may have had a chance to renegotiate his contract/bonus due, and decided instead to chance the open market.

unfortunately it will also end there as Bob, reportedly twisted an ankle getting off the plane and will officially be listed on IR later today

Bob Sanders is the last guy I’d call that, lest we meet in a dark alley. That dude can hit!

Especially because of how close the Jaguars were to winning the AFC South in 2011 and it is always good to have a veteran player like Sanders helping that secondary get better.

For a couple years there in 2006-07 he was one of the hardest hitters in the NFL, NFL Defensive MVP in 07 when he played the whole season. But running full speed up into the box blasting running backs 50-60 lbs heavier looks cool but kills your body especially a small guy like him.
Good luck Bob, but your body just cannot take it anymore. Time to pack it up.

Or even partially healthy? He hurt himself on a play he wasn’t even involved in in the 1st quarter of the 1st game of the year.

The Colts didn’t release him just to shake things up, they released him because he simply can’t get on the field. Will that change just because he changes cities? We’ll see.

As much of a injury risk he is and has been, he’s due to break this injury prone eventually. With what we’ve had to endure watching last year and previous years with this secondary, I’ll take a cheap chance on Bob Sanders that to have to watch this train wreck secondary for another season. He’s low cost low risk.
