SCOOP said:Strategically, I'm not sure I understand this move.
Was someone going to pick him in the draft? Maybe.
But we could've kept him on rookie wages & the rookie list for next year.
Unless he is absolutely on the verge of getting picked, I'm not sure there was the rush. I don't mind the boy and I don't need to debate his skill set or merit, it's more around the timing of the move.
1 less draft pick needs to be used in the 2015 national draft
