Fans almost always side with teams because they are a fan of said team, if you were that player, you would do exactly the same thing.

Obviously this is a seriously hyperbolic example, but stop acting like there aren't repercussions to cutting players in the middle of contracts.
Its not a one way street, signing bonuses are still paid, cap hits, dead $ etc....its not like teams just do whatever they want without it making an impact.
Last I checked Jones was on track to make $80MM of an $80MM contract sorrect?
