JARRETT PAYTON RELEASED
Running back Jarrett Payton, son of the late Walter Payton, was released this week by the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes. "Everything's always a shock when you don't see it coming," Payton told The Gazette Thursday morning from his Chicago home - the first interview he granted after his release by Montreal on Wednesday. "I really don't know what happened, but a little bit was my injury. The injury opened the door for a switch." When practice resumed this week, Payton was ordered to stay home while the team attempted to trade him. Without a deal on the table, he was released.
