    Thought about the cutting of Ware overnight and I came up with a few things.

    1) Jerry had to make an incredibly tough decision and since Ware wouldn't take a paycut, he had to cut him. He was actually behaving like a competent GM on this one. Now, I fully expect him to screw it up in the future but for this one day he did the right thing.

    2) Jerry didn't have to cut Ware prior to 4pm yesterday. He could have held onto him, let the other teams spend their money and then, when there was no market for Ware, force him to take a paycut. But he didn't. An owner actually showed compassion (right word?) for a loyal player. Kudos to him.

    3) Ware shouldn't have felt compelled to take a paycut. No problem with that. Like Jerry and the Cowboys, Ware did what he had to do. After all it's a business first and foremost. I wish him nothing but the best and hope he gets a ring, he deserves it.
    It was probably the loyalty factor for Jones. Give him credit on that one.

      I agree that this was the right move on both ends. I'm surprised Jones made the right move. Like you said, he will probably screw it up somehow, but maybe he's turning the corner and looking to make the smart moves and not the flashy moves.
