On monday morning, the jacksonville jaguars sent foley fatukasi, a defensive tackle, a warm note. They fired him then. According to reports, a spokesman for the department of agriculture has issued a statement.
At 7:19 a.m., a.m., the newspaper will be open. Fatukasi’s birthday was celebrated on the jaguars, who wished him well. On monday, the six-season nfl veteran turned 29.
Nfl network’s mike garafolo reported that the jags were releasing him about 4 1/2 hours later. Fatukasi was not announced on the jaguars x/twitter page immediately.
Their top post on their timeline remained their happy birthday wish. Fatukasi’s announcement of his release came as a surprise.
If they want to offer deals to pending free agents josh allen and calvin ridley, the jaguars face a salary cap squeeze this offseason. Before the rumored release of fatukasi, the jaguars had $25.7 million in cap space, but allen and ridley expect to eat up that space if they return, so they needed to find cap space elsewhere.
Fatukasi made just one appearance last season, completing 24 total tackles, including three tackles for loss in 16 starts. With his release, he was a prime cut candidate in the cutthroat world of nfl salary cap calculations.
But the jaguars didn’t have to do it like this. They could have timed it a little bit better.
