-Because we just used a 3rd round pick on a return specialist which was Abby best shot at making the roster
-Because Abby is injury prone, has concussion history, and coming off an ACL tear
-Because need to keep 6 DBs over keeping 6 WRs
-Because Janis can play both sides on special teams and Abby can only return kicks, they aren't going to keep a 6th WR just for depth if he can't contribute on special teams.
