thats a reason
PLUS,
i still dont understand why they cut player whos healthy and fully paid.ie no cap relief..
if i was gm im stashing him on the inactive list if injury is concern and use that 7mil LB as insurance to injuries' that could come in 17 game season with only 4 games played. He is good enough to start albeit no longer a great starter , im keeping him until we are for sure not in need of his services..i mean im not cuttings an employee i paid 7mil dollars to and hasnt warranted being cut,
if all it was was to not have to pay him for 2022 should he get inured , im against this release..
inactive, sure , stash to use in case of emergency ,yes..there are far worse players to move around or cut for roster spots then a 7mil LB.
