Per Keith Murphy on twitter. Gotta say, I'm pretty surprised. Sure sounded like he was going to help put a lot of butts in seats.

I would be surprised if him being cut was based on lack of talent.

And folks on here will probably still wonder why nobody in the NFL gave him a shot.

They don't wonder. KF is keeping him out of the Arena League, too.

HAHA...nice

Because Kurt black listed him with all of his fat cat friends in the NFL. Everyone knows that. Apparently he has been spending his time manipulating AFL coaches instead of finding a OC with a pulse.

Yet, if his pay check is one day late, he throws a fit and refuses to play anything but seniors. Nice leadership there Kurt.

WHO-TV: Barnstormers cut former Iowa football player DJK | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegister.com

From article:

The CFL's Montreal Alouettes also signed Johnson-Koulianos to a contract, and he expects to join them next season.

Sounds like it was an Arena type of play that's the problem, not DJK himself.

 

[storminspank]

Won't he make a lot more dough in the CFL anyways?

Yes.

Entry level is around $35-50K, and you can make upwards to a $1/2M in the CFL.

Arena is lower $25-30K to start, upwards to $150K top right now I think.

bummer, was looking forward to watching him.

I don't care what has been Tweeted. I highly doubt DJK was cut based on ability to perform at an Arena League level.

Marty has an opinion.

Apparently Marty has the "real" story at 3 pm today on his radio show (eye roll).

If true, that would require that a) the Barnstormers coach is lying and b) Montreal can't evaluate talent or is willing to take a huge risk with their money.

He always does...

derrell wont make the CFL team either. however he did succeed in getting name mentioned a few more times so he probably considers this a success.

 

[HawkForce]

Djk was not that talented yet all the message board fanboys had huge crushes on him.
If he was that good he would be in the NFL....ray lewis is still playing for gods sake

that wouldn't negate him from playing in the arena league. i assume he was planning to do both, with the cfl team permitting such.
