The Jets paid way too much for Faneca. DeCastro is ready for his second career. Douglas is not likely to take him on for anything above 1 year vet min.

David Harris Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 There’s about 3 guys every time I hear their names I remember the draft nights we didn’t draft them.l and my instant regret. one is David decastro who Tanny said they were 49% him and 51% Quinten Coples. the other is Calvin cook, see Marcus Maye and weirdly the other is gabe Jackson, see Mcdougal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not taking either Watson or Mahomes with our QB situation was idiotic. But then again we had maybe the most bewildering drafting GM like ever. None of his pics ever made sense. I think one of my lowest points as a Jets tan was NFL or ESPN cutting to the Jets draft room and McCagnan was the only one in it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 steelers just don't release players without good reason. decastro was really good. key word is was. ryan kalil was also once really good. sometimes players just can't get back to form after an injury. it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 This sounds like retirement to me. He was definitely a player I've liked for a long time. I'd rather go with Moses though. I think depth at tackle is so critical for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayton163v Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I doubt the Steelers released him if he was going to be healthy this season. While he is well-paid and there are probably salary considerations if he is not the starter, I would pass unless and until he passes a physical. If I am the Jets, I have to be certain that I am getting him healthy enough to play a few more seasons. I would be very wary of creating another Keleche Osemele situation where - at best - the two parties misunderstood each other. Since either the Jets were inept and did not examine his shoulder properly or were clueless and did not convey that he was going to be expected to play that season. Or both. Later events suggest cluelessness since the Jets clearly thought he was going to play that season and had to know about the shoulder. One clue that this was coming was the Steelers grabbing the zone guard Kendrick Green in the 3d round. I wanted him badly for us before the draft.

Doesn’t every player take a physical before signing a contract unless perhaps they are already known to be hurt up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/amp/david_decastro_bashes_steelers_for_how_they_released_him/s1_127_35243699 It’s safe to say veteran offensive lineman David DeCastro is not happy with how he was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers. DeCastro, a starter for the Steelers his entire career, was released Thursday by the team with a non-football injury designation and immediately replaced by free-agent signing Trai Turner. The reasons appeared purely financial, as the Steelers were able to open up an extra $5.75 million in cap space by swapping DeCastro out for Turner. The non-football injury designation also means DeCastro will not be paid much of what he was owed as he entered the final season of his current deal, which carried a $14.2 million cap hit. DeCastro knows this was about money. On Friday, he took a clear shot at the organization for the non-football injury designation on the release. Andrew Fillipponi (@ThePoniExpress) Tweeted: When @937theFan Steelers reporter @JColony13 asked David DeCastro about the "non-football injury" release designation DeCastro said: "The owners are billionaires for a reason." The NFL can be a ruthless place. DeCastro was a two-time All-Pro and one of the team’s longest-tenured players, but when health and finances come into play, anything can happen. One interesting thing will be how Ben Roethlisberger reacts to this. After losing another offensive lineman he was very close with at the end of last season, he can’t be happy to see DeCastro phased out like this.

Barry McCockinner Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Assuming he heals well this guy might be coming back with a chip on his shoulder in 2022.

I guess he wouldn't pass a physical at the moment... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
