Eric Saubert released

Seems like the staff does it differently than they used to?

It's like Bobo made the team. Yay.

Flv, don’t know what roster spot the team needed. Hawkstorian has a theory which you can find near the end of the present roster thread, still it’s confusing. Really can’t understand why he needed to be cut then re-signed to adjust his contract? Is there some Collective Bargain language that requires this to happen?

I read the internet stories as well. I don't know if Saubert was earning $170K more than the Seahawks were happy with so they cut and re-signed him to the lower amount. That would be petty since it would only be for 10/18ths of the difference. I'd like to think Saubert was having a family day at a casino so both sides engineered a way for him to not be on the roster at the time - just to prevent a league fine. That's my sort of procedural move.
