Sheldon Cooper Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Lee was getting beat deep regularly which breaks rule #1. Julio got him today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndySG Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sounds like he was going to be one of the first cuts anyway in that case. Makes sense to see it anybody else is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 IMO we had too many corners on the roster, so its logical we let some go to get a chance elsewhere and get some competition at a position like NT, where we have Soliai and a bunch of unproven guys.
