Enunwa Fined - Not Happy (MERGED)

[HawkeyeJet]

Jets Fans:. We need someone in here to get rid of the Club Med vibe of previous regimes!

Also Jets Fans:. This is Bull****!!!  

[Bruce Harper]

He was way overpaid, not even considering his multiple injuries. The least he can do is show up for his rehab.

Be interested to see how common this practice is around the league.

First world problems.

They’re paying him to rehab so missing a rehab might as well be missing a practice for him. He admits he didn’t give them enough notice it’s on him 100% the Jets should pay him to take his girlfriend out when he has a scheduled rehab? Cmon 

The issue for me is tact. The Jets FO has zero which is why things always seem to happen w their players. It’s not about right or wrong it’s how they handle it, which inables the players to take it public. The culture is sh*t on and off the field

When you put it this way, that's true. It is coming out of money he is getting paid.

Hard to feel bad for Quincy...  If I don't show up to work for 2 days I don't get paid for 2 days..  He got 20 million dollars guaranteed and may have only played 1 game for it.  They didn't need to fine him the max but they do need to get away from Bowles' funhouse where multiple players showed up late.

I can’t enjoy a very rare lead by the Knicks and the booing of Porzingis without more Jet misery.

Hold on. Whats the story here? He didn't show up to a scheduled treatment, and the team fined him? Why is this news.

Because he bitched and moaned about it on twitter.

If I were Douglas, I would fine him again for his tweets.

Dude has a responsibility to turn up to rehab sessions. All due respect to his wife, but you can't blow off an appointment your employer has made for you because you want to eat some lunch.

Or, if you do, you give your employer advance notice of your plans.

[HawkeyeJet]

Also, Quincy.  Come on dude.  You are a millionaire.  If your wife is a veteran, maybe take her out for dinner for veterans day and not lunch, cheapskate.

[Green Truth]

If you told your boss why you were not at work after the fact   Especially for the excuses he brought up. What do you think that conversation would be like.  If a family member was sick or died.  I would still text or email my bosses immediately to tell them what is going on..  This conversation is over.  He was wrong.  Take the chump change out of your pocket Quincy and call it a day.  This is just immature behavior.

This is what I'm wondering. I can't think of any similar examples off the top of my head. Seems strange to hear a player on IR with a career threatening injury getting fined. 

People pointing out he's getting paid and it's his job are right though.

Enunwa probably would have got away with this under Maccagnan. Douglas is trying to set an example about ethic and culture. Enunwa ran foul of it. Tough titties.

[joewilly12]

Fining him for instances like this might be part of the CBA agreement on injured players, could be the NY Jets are following the league rules and my guess is continued fines might get the NY Jets out of the massive contract they gave him, maybe.

Nobody cares if you show up for work. Nobody cares if he showed up for his one rehab given he’s out for the season. The player/fo relationship is so bad he took it public. Whether he’s right or wrong it’s the culture that stinks. Given he’s one of the more credible players in terms of character on the team speaks volumes to what a sh*t organization it is

[jetstream23]

He’s not being paid and they expect him there? Or, do I have this wrong?

We don’t even know where the fines come from. I doubt it’s a GM decision tbh

[slimjasi]

Why did he miss his appointment and did he let them know in advance?

Until we know that, I don't have much of an opinion on this

[JTJet]

He wont be on the team next year, so who cares?

Osemele: “Yeah, I’m opting for surgery, but I should still get paid my full salary.”

Quincy: “Yeah, I blew off multiple days of treatment, but I shouldn’t be fined for it.” 
 

Jamal: “Yeah, I know the Jets didn’t try to trade me, and didn’t, but I’m gonna act like they did for a week, without consequence.”

 

This is 50% because these players are entitled man-babies, and 50% because there’s no forward face of the franchise who will rebut these clowns, and players are taking advantage of that vacuum

This always gets lost. They are making millions. The coddling and the excuses for missing a 2 hour treatment max is silly. Airing this out on social media basically ended his jets tenure.

[HawkeyeJet]

I value Damien Woody's opinion more than just about any media person out there for the Jets.  Very balanced with a players perspective.  This was in response after some told him what the uproar was about.

If you read his tweets, he missed two sessions. One session was scheduled for Veterans Day and he took his wife out to lunch to commemorate, since she served. The second was missed due to an emergency.

Both times, he told the team after the fact, probably because they got in touch with him and wanted to know what the deal was with him missing two rehab sessions they organised for him.

I just changed jobs recently, and I'm still working things out with my new employer. But I know with my old boss, if I texted him to say I wouldn't be coming into work because I would rather work from home, he would be totally cool with it.

If Enunwa bothered to let someone know he would miss an appointment due to wanting to commemorate veteran day with his wife, then I bet the team wouldn't have cared.

It is about respect for your colleagues.

Totally in the Jets corner on this one.

It’s typical polluted Jets FO inability to relate and mange their players/organization w any kind of tact. I’m sure the first he heard of the fine was reading it on the tv. I dunno maybe talk to the player first, have some tact. Create a culture players want to play for. Stop making inexcusable bad decisions like mic’ing your second year QB on the worst offense in football against the best team in football on Monday night for ESPN. They’re business IQ is below substandard. The Johnson’s are sh*t.

Eh. I get what you’re saying. But with this? Eh. 

What should they have done? Call him up personally and say hey, you coming in? It’s not hard to call and tell them you’re not making it. 

And so what if he went and explained afterwards, if they take away his fine then all players are gonna ask for it.  

This is all on him. 

[Y3k]

can we please cut this fool?

[New York Mick]

What is the cap hit if they cut him and are they allowed to cut him?

Gruden cut Ronald Ollies ass on Hard Knocks for just being late to rehab.  In the grand scheme of things you're right Enunwa missing a day doesn't mean sh-t but this was an undisciplined, underachieving team under Bowles.  They have to make a strong statement to show that the behavior in years past is no longer acceptable.  The fact they seem to be posting fines for all to see should tell you what they're trying to do.

Plenty hard ass coaches cut, fine, or demote players for being late or missing practice.  We just never heard about it before because there was no twatter.

This is just as bad.  You got paid a boatload of money for 60 minutes of Football.  Q we know you should hang it up.  Don't need any 50/50 from a doctor to tell all Jet Fans what we already know.  You were a trooper when you were able to be on the field.  You have retirement money.  Call it a day.  Do the right thing so they finish paying you and get the injury buyout and walk off into the sunset and still able to walk.

I mean,  this organization is gross

WTF?

First, man, he is under contract...to do a F*CKING job....for MILLIONS of DOLLARS.  I'm a VETERAN (BS that he capitalized it) and I was at work VETERANS day at a MILITARY hospital.  Grow a pair dude...VETERANS understand we need to do sh*t we don't want to do, on days we don't want to do it.

We all need to 'handle emergencies' in our house...and most of us would let our EMPLOYER know as it was happening and not 'after the fact'.

I call BS on the VETERANS excuse, and BS again on the next.

Don't cry me a river about you being injured twice in your 'career' and criticizing your employer who has guaranteed you millions of $ for holding to a defined rehab plan.

Go work somewhere else.

Geez.

None of these guys ever had a real 9 to 6.  They just do not get it.  They play a game for millions, while we the fans pay their bills.  Just have to laugh about it.

[prime21]

On the surface this sounds bad because Q posted it but rules are rules. Some players think they can do whatever they want. Yeah it could have been handled another way. He could have worked with the team way in advance of this day to rework the schedule for one day.

Just following the lead of our fearless leader Adams.

The team is paying your scrubby overrated butt a ton of money,  (thank mccaganan) Show up or let them know before hand as you admit you should have and there is no issue.

What does this have to do with Jamal?  The team fined the guy for missing treatments and he wasn’t happy about it.  I don’t blame him but he obviously was irked to the point where he felt like making it public.

Lol. It’s pretty simple. As he shows.

If you look carefully in the photo Enunwa tweeted you can see the address of the Jets team hotel. Oops.
