Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Worth a look?

Cornerback Janoris Jenkins landed in hot water this week for tweeting an offensive term for people with intellectual disabilities at someone on Twitter and then trying to defend his use of it as “slang” from where he grew up.

Did not play for Ohio State. Pass. :-p

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

no thanks

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

It would be retarded not to give him a look. :roll:

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

We tend to have injuries at the position. I’d love to bring him. He’d be a great short term depth signing.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Hell no! This guy’s been a ****head since his UF days.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Terrell Suggs has just been released by AZ. He may be old but with our injuries it would invaluable to have a guy like him helping our line.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Funny! But he's an idiot. No thanks.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

With how Apple has been playing lately anything could help..

Really hope Suggs makes his way to us.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

On a serious note, it might be okay to kick the tires. But really the Giants pass D has been atrocious this year, and we would be wise to carefully study recent tape and see if Jenkins was underperforming compared to his career output.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Chemistry means a lot on defense, as you know. By his comments after being released it was apparent he didn't want to be there. We can't be sure of where the issues originated. He is also dealing with a new ankle injury. Is he wanting to get out of the "hell hole" that the Giants have become, or has he quit and wants out for his own glory? He would be a publicity issue, that is for sure. Who would be released from the secondary to create his spot?

What do you think about these issues?

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Seems to me like everybody is itching to get out of the Giants organization. Not to mention he’s 31 and probably wants to win more than anything else. I’d let Hardee or Bademosi go. I haven’t had a chance to watch Jenkins in a while, but when he’s at his best he’s an elite man to man corner. He fits our style of play. I just don’t think it hurts to bring people in and give them a chance. It’s not a lifelong commitment. Let’s just see how things work out like New England does.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

If I remember correctly this guy is one of the few cornerbacks Michael Thomas didn't abuse. Press coverage without safety help.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

The word "retarded" is in the dictionary. Too many sensitive wussies in the world.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

I don't use the word "retard" anymore, but I have said many things I probably shouldn't have said in my 50+ years. We'd be retards not to take a look.

Y'all see what I did there?

:banana:

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

The last Giants DBack hasn't worked out so well

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

What a insensitive and offensive remark for no reason. I don’t care if JJ made such a ignorance remark no need to repeat. Talent don’t supersede morality.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Jump in the lake snowflake. You just proved my point.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

50+ years with no knowledge of wisdom

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Can’t be a Snowflake on this board ... Special Education Diversity Recipient.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Yes, yes, yes. Could not care at all he said retard .

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

It was intended to be funny not offensive. My apologies.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Stand up guy. 👍

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

What's offensive about what rugby or the Giants player said?

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

They’ve been trying to move away from the usage of the word for a while. I’m not offended by it, but I also have no connection to the community in question. Sometimes it’s easier to just say my bad and let’s keep it moving.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Yeah but neither of them were referring to people with down syndrome or some other mental handicap. So basically if someone is offended by a word and the word is not targeting a group they should probably get thicker skin or borrow some testosterone from a friend or family member. Nothing is weaker than saying I'm offended by words, especially when the words aren't targeting a group. The word retard or retarded has a separate meaning just like the word gay. If he had called a fan with down syndrome retarded I could understand being upset or thinking he is a POS. So laughable.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

I wonder if JJ clears waivers today?

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

We are forced to be politically correct. Our opinions don't matter....just the people with thin skin matter because they stand up and scream at the world.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

I think he will. I’m about to watch some film on him and give my take.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Seems that the Eagles may have claimed him.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

SAINTS :bng:

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

What the hell?? :rofl:

That’s so unlike us.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

He was claimed by the Saints.

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Championship ...

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

Re: Giants cut Janoris Jenkins
 

I can’t say I am happy about the move but I can see the reason why. Hopefully the locker room won’t be affected but affect JJ. Geaux saints
