Ace Sanders found himself released by the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday after failing to impress during his sophomore season both as a wide receiver and as a punt returner. Others on the team have surpassed him as a receiver and his work as a punt returner wasn’t vital enough to justify keeping him around for another season.
With the lackluster performance of Sanders, general manager Dave Caldwell showed him the door.
This move is both bold and shows the maturity of the first-time general manager for the Jags. Caldwell’s dismissal of Ace Sanders is the first time he has released a player he drafted in one of the three drafts he has overseen.
