I'm being told that player are being cut so he can bring in his old players. I can understand a little but its late for these players to find new homes.
Some things to consider, this is the current 2021 Preseason Roster, I count approximately 99 players on this roster.
Yes it's late to cut players, but the new coaching staff was just hired, so they are behind the 8 ball in that respect as well. I do understand that the new head coach does not want to carry as many walk-ons as the previous staff did, so I guess some of them may be departing, but that's just a guess.
