Yes. Because I understand that’s not how things work. 

are you best friends with hurney or something?? the guy is a terrible GM.. most people on here will agree with that.. There is no reason any of us can find for releasing CJ who clearly is the best option we have if CMC goes down.

[Fright]

He’ll sign with the Saints and torch us for 200 all purpose yards both games lolol

This make no sense unless CJ asked to be released for lack of playing time becasiw now who’s the back up after CAP Samuel?? Lol 

[Darvinsun]

CAP still won' get a jerse on game days

Am I defending Hurney or am I saying the idea that he made a move like this all by himself, like you’ve suggested, is completely wrong?

Biggest case of River dog house I think ever. Extreme case. 

I got to wonder if this isn't the case.  He apparently pissed someone off.  There is NO reason that the guy should have gotten this treatment.  As said multiple times on this thread, if CMC goes down we are going to be screwed royally at the RB position.

 I would have to believe that CJ forced it. Not sure I blame him if he did whatever it took to get out of here. He could have played a little more but it still wasn’t going to be much. Or enough to show something and get a bigger contract. 

  Still was a smart signing by Hurney. Don’t blame him one bit. He was a steal at that price and our situation. 

  Just didn’t work like everyone thought it would. It’s not like CAP can’t handle 3-5 touches per game. 

CJ is clearly the better runner than CAP is..

That all assumes McCaffrey keeps up his current production and doesn't get injured.

Anderson was definitely quality depth if something went wrong. I just can't see a good rationale for letting go of someone like that.

CAP didnt get a jersey on sundays.... Were you asking who CJ's backup was at any point during this season?

[neverlosethefeeling]

If we're being honest, he was our 6th or 7th best option on offense. I don't know how we get him the extra snaps it takes for him to be effective without taking them away from CMC, Samuel, DJ Moore, Olsen, Cam, etc. 

I wish things worked out differently, but he wasn't a difference maker for us and our offense works the same with our without him. 

I understand and share the frustration of folks who wish we didn't let him just walk mid-season with no compensation, but makes me think there's something going on we weren't privy too. I hope so, at least.

The official reason being given basically boils down to "with McCaffrey, we just didn't need him".

So...We don't need depth at an important spot? 

I just can’t buy that. He has to get picked up off waivers or we just eat the rest of his salary. And it’s only about 350K. To throw away insurance for that. Even Hurney can’t be that dense.

He just put out a statement saying he released him coz we dont need him since CMC is god and will never get injured.. read it.

Roaring Riot has confirmed that he didn't request or demand it.
