Is it really necessary to seem humble after you get cut?

I ask this because usually when a player gets cut it's because they're not good enough to make the roster and they'll likely be out of a job.

It's not like they have multiple teams knocking on their door. Even if you come off as a douche after you get cut if you're good enough someone should sign you...right?

Well if you have been cut what reason would you have not to be humble? also it sends a better message to future teams to thank the team that cut you for the opportunity to try out.

It won't help and could only hurt so why do it? Just out of man pride and ego?

Ask Chad Johnson or TO. Nobody will tolerate an azzhole, unless you have too much talent to turn down.

All these cac GMs and coaches play golf and talk to each other. It's wise not to burn bridges

This.

And sometimes that same team will sign you back during the season (due to injuries, suspensions,etc). Not to mention practice squad.

Also a lot of GMs got their start by holding lower positions on other teams. Ozzie and Belichick are tight because of their days with the Browns.

Today, I feel as though I've been honorably discharged from the team I love.

First, I'd like to thank the York family: Dr. York, Denise, Jed, Tony, Jenna and Mara. You have blessed my life. God bless you.

I'd like to thank the men who brought me to the team and trusted me to contribute: Bill Walsh, John McVay and Bill McPherson.

To the various coaches that I played for, thank you, specifically, the first staff led by head coach Steve Mariucci. It was that group that taught me how to be a pro.

In addition, I'd like to thank this most recent staff, led by coach Jim Harbaugh, who has returned the 49ers to playing dominant football. I love this game and these men are true football men.

I'd like to thank my teammates who are my brothers and heroes. Some of them who had the greatest influence on me and my closest friends include: Ray Brown, Garrison Hearst, Derrick Deese, Ken Norton Jr., Jeff Garcia, Derek Smith, John Engelberger, Jeff Ulbrich, Julian Peterson, Eric Johnson, Terry Jackson, Brandon Lloyd, Frank Gore, Mike Robinson, Joe Nedney, Andy Lee and Vernon Davis.

Currently, the team is full of men who are more than capable of not only carrying on a tradition of winning but bringing championships back to the 49ers.

In a very real way I learned to be a man while with the 49ers -- molded through the preparation and performance of game day, completely tested while on and off the field this game, this team and this group of men made me who I am today.

God has blessed me, protected me and guided my path. Now, as I move on, I have faith that God will continue to do for me what He has done my entire life.

God bless you and God bless the San Francisco 49ers.

If you get cut, that probably means you're not that good to begin with. Who wants to hire an a$$hole that's not even good at their job?

I dont see whats the problem with being cut in the NFL

them even giving you a shot means you are better than your average joe on the couch watching the game

you just gotta be elite in the NFL,
