On Friday, the team announced that they cut just two years after they signed him to a big five-year, $55 million contract."I'd like to thank Jeremy for his effort and dedication the past two seasons," "I have great respect for all players, which makes decisions like these very difficult, but we felt it was in the best interest of our club moving forward to part ways at this time.
