A.J. Francis can now add yet another name to the loooong list of NFL teams that have cut him — many of those more than once. Francis, a veteran defensive tackle, is one of the biggest surprises among player cut thus far on Saturday by the New York Giants.
The New England Patriots. Miami Dolphins. Seattle Seahawks. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Washington Redskins all cut Francis, some several times, before he signed with the Giants in the spring.
This is what he told me in an interview early in training camp:
“Every team I’ve ever been on has cut me at least once.
