I think folks are reacting more to the release than what it actually means. Granted, the timing is odd and since it happened on the heels of Ngakoue hitting the door they're a little bitter. 

I'm with you, it's not a real big deal.

I agree that it's not a big deal - and it doesn't make us appreciably better or worse......but why cut him now?  If Armstead is in fact better - why didn't they see it last year when Fournette carried the ball 250+ times and caught another 70+ while Armstead got mop-up duty?  Do they truly expect us to believe that in a Covid training camp that they were able to determine that Fournette was all of a sudden worse than last year and worse than Armstead?  If that's the case than the OP's point is valid - Kahn and Caldwell are just bad and Marrone is right there with them.  

I mean Ngakoue turned down 3 years at $19M per year (reported) and I know it was supposedly all Coughlin's fault - but Coughlin is gone and Ngakoue still forced a trade where he reworked his contract to play for $12M elsewhere instead of signing and playing here for $17.8M?  What's that say about our Owner, Front Office and Coach?
