If we're paying him anyway just keep him on the team, there's no argument that he's not one of the 4 best RB's in camp. Even if Ozigbo, Rock Armstead or Thompson had outplayed him and he lost his starting job, 2018 showed us that injuries happen and depth isn't a bad thing. And for Marrone to say "there's nothing off-field or in the locker room that led to his release it's strictly what we saw on the field" nothing about this decision is defensible.

In the wake of this I really think we might go 4 WR's as a base offense, especially since Eifert is almost a lock to get hurt at some point.

I expect nothing, but still i'm dissapointed.

Pretty sure they do not have to pay him. His guaranteed monies were rescinded when he was suspended. It may end up in arbitration.

That's still up in the air, my guess is he'll win the grievance and the team will be on the hook for the entire amount guaranteed.

He must've been absolute cancer in the lockerroom. First the Cam Newton tweet, congratulating Yan and Ramsey for "Escaping", hearing he's a clown in the locker room that just jokes around/[BLEEP] with other people, falling asleep in meetings, not knowing the playbook his rookie year. This can't have just come out of no where like it seems to have happened. Unless he failed an internal drug test it has to be a "culture" cut. Still makes me sick.
