O.J. LewisBryant Released: Why?
August 30th 2010 14:27
The Cincinnati Bengals released star wide receiver Antonio Bryant after signing him on a 4 year deal worth 28 million earlier in the offseason. However, Bryant has a bad knee injury. I don't think it affects him on the long term, so releasing him wasn't very smart. Terrell Owens has been playing well off late, but he isn't a long-term option.
I really don't get why Antonio Bryant was released, unless they know something about this injury that we don't. Right now it looks like a move that could bite them in the butt, however there is a chance that they do end up looking like geniuses. Only time will tell.
The New York Jets have a very deep receiving core. They released Laveranues Coles, a long time Jets veteran. At 32, he could be seeing the end of his careers. However, it does look like the Jets released him for money.
He signed a one year deal worth around 850K about a month ago. He was due a signing bonus if he was on the team by week one of the regular season. If he is resigned after week one, he will not get that bonus. I doubt anybody else will pick Coles up.
There is a strong possibility that Coles will retire if he is not resigned. In fact, it is almost certain. He wants to finish his career with the New York Jets. Coles says he is not in it for the money, and he does not want to become a journeyman player.
