Knowing he has no chance to play this year, I guess they needed to make room on their roster. That's too bad.

A sobering summer for Giants safety Chad Jones took another sad, but probably inevitable turn on Thursday when the Giants waived the third-round pick out of LSU. Jones recently returned to Lousiana after a month-long hospital stay following a car accident that almost cost him his leg. The transaction was made with the intention of placing Jones on the reserve/non-football injury list once he clears waivers. The Giants have taken extra care of Jones since his accident, but this is a reminder that the business of football waits for no man. Jones will no longer take up a roster spot, and the team doesn't have to pay his base salary. Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that, "will probably take care of [Jones] in some form or fashion" even though they are under no obligation to do so. Jones received an $825,000 signing bonus before the accident, which he will fully keep. Hopefully, the next Chad Jones post we write will be about his recovery, and the excellent progress we hope he makes in the coming weeks.

That sucks.

I don't really blame them. The NFL is a business, not a charity. CJ brought this on himself when he got in a one car wreck in the early morning hours while driving around in NOLA. It may seem harsh, but he has no one to blame but himself.
He should have stayed at LSU anyway, his draft stock did not warrant an early departure.
For his sake, I hope he can still pitch, as I think that is his only option to earn a living playing professional sports.

This kinda thing makes you wonder what if he had stayed at LSU for his senior year.Would things have turned out different? Well good luck to CJ, the fans at LSU wish him well.

Damn. Well it was bound to happen. Good luck to him!

sure hate to hear that, but you can't blame the giants....no need to pay a guy who is not likely to play football again....damn glad he got the signing bonus...

He probably would not have gotten in that car crash, so yes.

I feel really terrible for Chad, but you can hardly blame the Giants for this move.

Wtf a-hole? For having an accident? The shite happens. Do you see anywhere in this thread about people calling the NFL a charity?

And this has nothing to do with anything you fricking jerk off.

Also, he was projected 2nd rounder by more than one publication. Douche.

his left leg was injured, correct?
if so, that's his push off leg. it's where a pitchers gets his power. gonna be tough (but not impossible) to come back to what he was.
