I was wondering if he would be released next offseason anyway since Trev/Jones/Kwit/Timu seems like a fine grouping to me. This settles that—he’s GONE.
Add $3 million to the cap for next years free agency, boys.
Even though 8 of those games will take place this year leaving only two for 2018 I think it's a surety that he'll be released in the offseason. In addition to his 2018 cap hit you can add half a season worth of this years salary back to the cap this year and carry it forward.
It's a shame because the guy is a "baller" as as a player.
He is (or was) but I’m not sure he would have been on the 2018 team anyway. 32yo coming off a season ending injury with young depth playing well? I don’t think his roster spot next year was a guarantee at all.

I'm interested to know what he got popped for. There are certain substances on the banned list that help a lot with brain injuries, and are actually prescribed to people with parkinsons and other brain related illnesses. I know one player who was taking a substance for that purpose that got popped and he was threatened by the league to not talk about what he was taking or why he was taking it. But the league really cares about player health...lol.
Really too bad, he was a great contributor and fun to watch. You can't have too many capable ILB's. I hope he gets things under control and lands on his feet. Good Luck to Jerrell...

Everything that I heard later yesterday on the various sports talk outlets seems to indicate that he was busted for taking things to reduce the effects of CTE. So he wasn't juicing or anything like that. I also heard he had made a statement saying that he had been in denial about his brain injuries and this is actually a blessing to him and his family.
Like with Miller, this is a real shame. He seems a real stand up guy. Doesn't lie or try to weasel out of his responsibility for any of this. And like with Miller, it is real shame his career ends this way. In a perfect world we would have both healthy for another year or two.

I know a lot of guys who are taking things to help either reduce the effects of concussions or try to help prevent them. They're on the banned list, but as long as their levels are below a certain number they won't get popped. The league really needs to revisit some of these substances and allow players to get medical use exemptions for them as they really don't do all that much to impact performance. Again...if the league is as serious as they say they are about brain injuries they wouldn't be threatening players to not speak out about what they were taking and why when they do get popped for it.
