They asked Gio to take a 50% pay cuts since he makes more than our 2 starting guards combined. Gio said no. Next, they put him on the trade market and no team was will to pay him 4.7 million in 2021 so no offers. So, they cut him to use he money more wisely on another FA guard, WR or position of need.
I love the move and wish we would now go after Zac Ertz in a trade, with io being cut, we have the cap space to do it.
TY Gio for being a true pro, no doubt you are a top tier back up RB, but not worth 4.7 million in 2021. All the best t o Gio, he s a class act and a good RB.
Great post!!!!!!!
