Hard to believe Shaq may be out of the league after only


Jan 8, 2022, 5:58 PM

five seasons. Just goes to show what a step up in talent it takes to "make it" and KEEP making it in the NFL. He was a MONSTER here.

Equally unfortunate, these days, it may also be just as much about dollars as it is about talent. Cut a veteran, and keep a cheaper rookie with nearly equal talent. The way of the NFL world, these days more than ever.

Hopefully he managed his money well. He should fine if he did. He will also get some NFL retirement too one day. I think if you have to play 8 seasons to get the max though. Take that with a grain of salt.

Fine young man, and a great Clemson Man!
He will do well in life, and I expect him to play elsewhere before he is through with the NFL.
Good luck Shaq!

Re: Shaq L. out of the league?: Typical NFL career < 5 yrs

Don't know the latest stats, but it had been my recollection that the average NFL career is less than 5 years.

Admittedly, I don't know if "<5 years" represents the mean or the median ... but you get my drift.

NFL, to plagiarize the comment from ex-coach Jerry Glanville, stands for Not For Long.

Also, he's being released by the Jets. It could simply be he's being released by an organization that doesn't and hasn't known what it's been doing for about 1/2 a century.

Re: Hard to believe Shaq, but Shaq will sign somewhere else

The Jets are getting a jump on clearing cap space. Potentially for a run at other free agents.

Shaq was hitting them for $9m, he should be able to find work for a more reasonable number.

Don't be surprised if he ends up back on the Bills (some playoff team will add him to their roster). If only for emergency purposes. These days, you never know when you are going to lose a starter from a positive test.

True, many players get let go for cheaper, younger, players. Think about it, it happens in the working world too.

Has a lot of heart and passion wwhenbaae played college ball. He also might get picked up by another NFL team.

He seems to get significant snaps wherever he's been, most likely he'll be picked up once more.
