Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, and Travis Kelce are all players who didn’t have the best of Week 1 games. However, those subpar performances didn’t cost them their jobs. That’s because they all have equity in the NFL, as well as with their respective teams so a bad outing doesn’t lead to a lost job.
The same can’t be said for Washington Commanders kicker Cade York, or rather, former Washington Commanders kicker Cade York. After missing two field goals in Washington’s 37–20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Commanders unceremoniously waived York on Monday.
