News: Gholston Passes Through Waivers

Former New York Jets DL Vernon Gholston has passed untouched through the NFL waivers process unclaimed according to FoxSports. Gholston, the former sixth pick of the draft was untouched during the waivers process, and was scheduled to earn $555,000 in base salary next season along with a $2.565 million roster bonus and a $250,000 workout bonus. He was signed through the 2012 season. With the labor deal on the front burner and very little chance that anyone would want to take on Gholston’s contract as it currently stood, it’s not that much of a surprise he went untouched through waivers, but still … it’s pretty telling of what the league thinks of him or the stigma attached that NO one was willing to give it a shot. Thanks to Jordan for the heads up!
