Arrr, me hearties! The scurvy dogs of the Jacksonville Jaguars be sendin' Folorunso Fatukasi packin' on his special day, aye! 'Tis a cruel blow, indeed, to be walkin' the plank on yer very birthdate. Ahoy, the life of a pirate be a rough one, mateys!
In a move straight out of the pirate playbook, the Jacksonville Jaguars showed no mercy in cutting loose defensive tackle Folorunson "Foley" Fatukasi just hours after wishing him a happy birthday on social media. The savage cut saved the team a hefty $3.5 million in salary cap space for the upcoming 2024 season, but left fans scratching their heads at the timing.As news of Fatukasi’s release spread, NFL fans wasted no time in jumping into the comments section of the birthday post, with one user cheekily remarking, "happy birthday but this is your last birthday as a Jaguar mate." This birthday release trend is not a new one in the NFL, with other teams like the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers also showing players the door on their special day.Despite the disappointment of being released on his birthday, Fatukasi’s stats make him a valuable asset for teams in need of defensive depth. The former New York Jets draft pick has proven himself on the field, and will likely attract interest from other teams once free agency kicks off next week.
