Merchantmen cut Jimmie Feffer opening day 2083
Jimmie Feffer's stint with the Maassluis Merchantmen lasted just one season. Despite coming off his most productive season to date with 1,549 yards rushing, the Merchantmen decided to part ways with Feffer when contract negotiations failed to lead to an extension the Merchantmen management could agree upon. The move helped second-year pro Leonard Belin into the leading role, with Ronald Graham and Raul Curie also in the mix due to Belin's suspect endurance. Feffer, no doubt, will find a new home soon.

Due to the release, the Merchantmen opened up enough cap space to extend contracts of five potential free agents: center Butch Pearson and defensive linemen Gino Kemp, Max Lyons, Erik Shrader and Ezekiel Wylie.
