Austin Reiter (Center) released by Miami

Miami released a veteran center recently. The guy isn't very old and while he is not a super star he has starting experience and a Super Bowl ring. He was the starting center for KC in the super bowl a couple of years ago. Probably better than what we have currently and definitely at least a better backup. Here's a link about his release:

Any ties to Temple or Baylor?

Don't think so. He played his college ball at South Florida (USF). He is probably better than anything we have now. His PFF grades a re pretty low, but he didn't allow any sacks in the 6 games he played in (5 starts) this year. I think he had only 1 penalty in those outings. He also didn't step on his QB any.

Wasn't that the Super Bowl where the Chiefs O line almost got Mahomes literally killed on the field?

Its the one in 2019 when the Chiefs beat SF. I don't remember him being too stressed in that game.

Hard pass on any movement until the new season. Whether or not Rhule is here(I’m having a hard time believing Tepper won’t keep him for year 3), and in the event Rhule is here, he gets no say in the front office, player management decisions. He’s not a plays talent savant, and can barely coach. He needs to pick one if he’s around next year.

Don't we owe Paradis $8m next year whether he plays or not? How did we screw up a fresh start rebuild so badly

Yes--A Hurney contract and the team is on the hook for two more years. Its

Sometimes you have to ask, why are they releasing him now?

Starting Center went down with injury. Backup was a rookie. Brought Reiter in to start instead. Starter is back. Still developing the rookie. Reiter is released. I think that's the short and sweet, but there all always things we might not know.

    • Funny, because I think it's monumentally stupid to go in as a WR and not CB for him for two main reasons. First is that he's very slender, he has a much better chance at having a longer career as a CB than a WR because of that, and if he can't stay healthy as a WR, he's never going to get the huge contracts and play 10 years in the league like he could on the other side of the ball. The second and more important, is that CB is so much more difficult of a position to play at an elite level, you can't keep dipping your toe in and out of the water on that end and expect to be great. So if he's a full time WR, it will be really hard for him to play any CB part time and be successful at it and make it worth their while to let him to continue doing.  But if he's a full time CB, it's much easier for them to have a few select packages on offense to where he gets maybe 10 snaps a game, half as a decoy, half getting the ball in creative ways to get him space to work in and make a big play here or there. Because also if that works while being an all pro caliber CB, he'll get paid so much more than any CB due to what else he offers, which then would probably rival top WR money, but have the chance at a much longer career while doing so. He's also just a better CB than he is WR, so why go full time at your weaker position that is easier to do part time and still have success?
    • Why sign him for him to play 2-3 games before another trip to IR  
    • This game would be 4-1 at worst with Freddie
