Jansen Released!

[Paintrain]

Jansen was a class act that gave us 100% any time he stepped on the field. I hope once he's done playing he comes back to the area or organization in some capacity.

I can see him with his own radio show or as a Comcast analyst.

On the field, I think this signals that they've seen something in Heyer, Williams and/or Bridges that they deemed keeping Jansen would have taken valuable reps away from players ahead of him on the depth chart.

This would be good, I think he was a good spot guy on the Redskins Nation, very informative.

That said...
I really hope the FO acted with class in talking with him about the release, I certainly don't want to see him become a bitter guy and bash Snyder for the next 5-10 years. I also wonder if (conspiracy alert) ESPN980 was told to make room for him when they released BMitch

It sounds like they did it the right way:

Redskins Release Long-Time Right Tackle Jansen

"Jansen met with Redskins owner Daniel M. Snyder, head coach Jim Zorn and executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato at Redskins Park on Friday morning.

'I’ve developed a close relationship with Jon and his family over the last 10 years and I have the utmost respect for him as a person and a player,' Snyder said. 'He has been an important part of our organization for the past decade. We wish Jon and his family the very best.'”

Not trying to bash the FO, but I want to hear from Jansen. You can say all the right things, but if done in the wrong way, he could still be bitter.
I really would like to think that they did, again even holding out 980 as an olive branch.

EDIT: I read the Post article by Jason Reid, and all the press releases sound right. Glad to see Jansen getting the respect from the team.

Nice post. Some very nice words from Snyder.
