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.

I read that Stanford knew he was getting cut and the Jets told him they plan on bringing him back. It was some sort of procedural move.

I'm sure this will be criticized by many here..

Jets Re-Sign 4th-Year LB Julian Stanford

The Jets have re-signed fourth-year linebacker Julian Stanford.

Stanford (6'1", 230), who hails from Bloomfield, CT, and played his college ball at Wagner, played in nine games for the Jets last year with three midseason starts for injured rookie LB Darron Lee, against the Browns, Dolphins and Rams, before going on Injured Reserve for the final three games.

He had 28 tackles for the season, including a career-high 10 plus 1.5 tackles for loss/no gain in the win at Cleveland. He played 244 snaps on defense and 169 more on special teams

Stanford began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent signed by Jacksonville after the 2012 draft. He also had stops with Detroit in 2013-15 and on Tampa Bay's practice squad in 2015 before joining the Jets' practice squad in December '15 and signing a reserve/future contract a month later.

He began 2016 on the active roster, was waived Sept. 26, returned to the Jets' practice squad the next day, then was re-signed to the active roster in time to contribute to the win over the Ravens.

There's a little group of tattle tale school girls on this forum who can't wait to run online and post their gossip to get a bunch of drama started

Where's the poll on that one?
