I don't understand why people are upset.
Sure. I liked him. He was great when healthy but, this guy may be one concussion away from calling it a career. That, paired with the cap savings, this is not a surprise at all and makes a lot of sense
I can see them having a discussion before telling him why they are going to cut him and let him test free agency and then if he isn't happy with the offers he receives, we would sign him back and structure it to be cap friendly.
Just my opinion and maybe my hope
