FS Dexter Jackson, Super Bowl MVP for the Bucs in '03, was released by the Cards today. He's been on IR since training camp, when back problems prevented him from practicing. (sounds like Denny didn't want him around for the long haul.)
I searched for info on his status, and all I could find was that the Arizona Republic (?) speculates that the team deemed him healthy, so they cut him without a settlement. I'm not sure how IR works . . . perhaps they're not allowed to cut him due to injury, until he's healthy or they settle? Otherwise, why place him on IR in the first place? :idunno:
Anyway, now there's this pro-bowl caliber FS running around without a team, and the Bills with Izell Reese losing time to Pierson Prioleau, while they have around $5million in the coffers. Could this be a mid-season addition?
