LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The NFL is a cutthroat business where some of the world’s best athletes hurl their bodies at each while playing on contracts that are largely unguaranteed (unlike the other three major American professional sports). However, the New York Jets took it an extra step on Friday, cutting linebacker Julian Stanford on his wedding day. Stanford entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent from Wagner in 2012. He made the Jacksonville Jaguars as a rookie, playing in 16 games and making 6 starts. Stanford spent the next two seasons with the Detroit Lions and then the 2015 season split between the Tampa Buccaneers and the Jets’ practice squads. In 2016, he made the Jets’ active roster and played in 9 games, making 2 starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 A buddy of mine was a pro baseball player and got cut on New Year's day. It happens. I seriously doubt the organization has every single meaningful day of each player's lives, past or present, on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogglez Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Maybe Julian Stanford should be a better football player so Julian Stanford doesn't have to worry about getting cut. Ever think of that OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink slip on wedding day: Backup linebacker Julian Stanford was released on Friday, which happened to be his wedding day. A cruel move by the Jets? No, not at all. Because of procedural rules pertaining to players that finished the season on injured reserve, the Jets were required to release him by April 15. They like Stanford and their plan is to re-sign him -- and he knows that. Yes, the NFL is a cold business, but not that cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Woody Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Ouch. I can't really say anything here though as I once fired a guy on his birthday. He wasn't a direct report of mine and I lit the manager up as soon as I found out, but there is no going back once you hand the guy the letter. Obviously we didn't mean to do it then, it just coincided with the Friday of the week I was finally comfortable with the documentation to justify the release. I thought we'd have an employee relations nightmare on our hands for sure. Turns out nobody even flinched, everyone disliked him that much. I don't know if the manager ever got blowback from it, he wasn't very good either. Don't think he lasted a year after that point anyway. At least Stanford has a very good chance to come back and compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
