BatteredFanSyndrome Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Add Lavar Arrington to that list, even though he had his reasons probably more so than others. That said, I personally thought Francis was meh and my level of excitement for him playing meaningful snaps in 2018 is that of a corpse. Not a good look for him to go whining particularly when he's most likely a longshot to be a NYG come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he is now on his 6th NFL team... I wonder what his pre-requisites/rules are for feeling appreciated? What does a team have to do... to make one feel appreciated? Is it simply not to be cut? Or is it to pay you what you think you’re worth? To announce you as a starter without earning it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, I’d argue it’s more of a ‘low self-esteem / self-worth” problem :-) Only a person with low self-value would put the responsibility of being loved (and every manifestation of it — respected, appreciated, etc) onto other people/entities. Looking for it outside of ourselves (validation, recognition, etc). I think it’s nothing more than an expression of pain. He’s hurt. And posting that picture is over-compensating for that pain.... by releasing through sarcasm and insult. And his pain so deep... that even celebrating signing with a new team wasn’t enough to overcome it. Kinda feel sorry for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carex Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 he probably justified all the other teams because they'd never let him play in a real game. The Skins had. He was supposed to be set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the lack of appreciation stems from his salary. He signed a contract... so he was clearly willing to accept his salary. And it wasn’t until he was cut that he felt under-appreciated. It must be that he held an expectation that he contributed enough to warrant remaining on the team. While the reality is.... people get fired/let go for innumerable reasons... many of which have nothing to do with performance. But the pain from rejection, betrayal and abandonment is real. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Well AJ what a prick. I was kind of surprised we cut him this early, thought he'd stick around through camp. So we cut him early, you know maybe that was good for him in that he got an early chance to hook on somewhere else. Slagging off previous employers in a small pool of opportunity. Tool. Enjoy being used over by the Gnats as a second team camp fodder play thing for Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ryan, 5 years 150 million, 100 million in guarantees, wow Tom PelisseroVerified account @TomPelissero 19m19 minutes ago More Just said on @nflnetwork: that $100 million guaranteed figure for #Falcons QB Matt Ryan is legit.

WelshSkinsFan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 So Kurt Conners no longer has the highest per year salary or guarantees.

NickyJ Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 And for Matt Ryan, he also kinda had that whole 'MVP + Super Bowl season' thing going on less than 2 years ago. Just throwing that out there. In before the "it's a team sport" post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 All of us should understand what AJ is going through. Who hasn't had that moment of rage, confusion, or frustration in the aftermath of being let go or fired? The lucky (or wise) among us know not to vent publicly when that flush of heat is in our veins, but Francis' reaction...? All too human. All too normal.

Yup..People post waaaaay too much on line..and people loose their jobs over it,and some find it Even harder to get them over the stuff they post!!..I got a good feeling he’ll be the later of the two really soon!!..Human or not..you gotta at least be good at what ya do before ya start bumping your gums and trashing someone who gave you a 1-32 chance of working in a very specific environment at all..now all he’s done is play his way thru almost 25% of the league already and showed his Ass leaving here..Best believe when(not if)he gets cut,he’ll be playing xbox for quite a while before the next team gives him a call(he really ain’t that good,just gonna be a camp body till the end of summer)..he’ll see us twice a season,but that’s only if he buys two tickets to two different games somewhere..I hate when a JAG leaves and talks like he did something and is sooo much better off..Naw Bum,if you were any good ya might would still have a job here ya think???

joeken24 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 AJ is a bum! So to me, A.J. Francis is pulling a Keenan Robinson. Sounds like sour grapes to me. He rips the Redskins on how they handled his release. I'm calling this bull**** in 113 degree weather. Ok A.J., tell me this one thing and I'll leave you the hell alone.... You have a problem with the logo being racist, yet you played for the team. And for all intents and purposes you would have played this year if you wouldn't have gotten the boot, right? No need to answer. Oh yea one more thing.......You're quoted as saying that you're "So grateful that I’m out of there" Hmm.... Child please!!! This is the most bama **** I've ever heard!!! But of course, the Washington Post grab this **** by the horns and decide that its news worthy. The Post is becoming less and less ethical and more whining, irrelevant, agenda driven (fill in the blank because, I wanna call them something else, but I don't want to get banned) (for a lack of a better term). So Scott Allen is a reporter with the Washington Post. I'll be sure to keep an eye on his articles as it relates to the Redskins to see if he is unbiased or not. Chances are he's not. So **** 'em! AJ, take yo ass up the 95 and get cut by the Giants. You've been cut by two other teams now. I won't talk about your wrap career, but that's fairly apparent as well. You see how quick this bama hit the media? He finally got a mic in his mouth and look what he says. No tellin' what he was sayin' in the locker room. Its probably why nobody spoke to him on his way out. Anyway.......gone with the **** son!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bama loves attention. Always has..... He did that bull**** local news piece a while back with him doing a weak ass rap show after a game, driving Uber and talking about being an actor or some ****...... Be a damn football player!!!; make a ****in' team bruh!!! You give the terps a bad name with yo dancin' bear lookin' ass. He gets no excuses because, rest assured, his ass is not going to rescind his rant. I get so tired of these Francis, Craven, Robinson characters. Every single one of them have soft ass tendencies. Cravens with his silly ass twitter video. We just saw Francis. And Robinson was just wrong on so many levels. Finally....AJ Francis is indeed THE bama of the week, weak weak.....
