Josh Sitton.

Just like the time he released Jon Ryan for Frosty the Noodle-Legged Punter, Thompson once again makes another incompetent move.

I thought the salary cap issues would come home to roost NEXT YEAR.

One question that needs to be asked with Sitton, is it possible they asked him for a pay cut? That would have been a huge slap in the face. That is just pure speculation but it would explain why they decided to cut him instead of going forward. I don't think he asked for an exorbitant amount of money.

If Ted asked him to take a pay cut or get release, IMO....more idiotic.......

We're trying to win a SB; I don't get this. We are below the cap.

Let him walk next year if need be. But this makes no sense to me

Agree. A bridge had to have been burned and/or a line drawn in the sand one way or another. esoxx makes a good point about Sitton's ego and personality.

every team has to manag whacked out egos and personalities; it's part of a GM's job. Think life was easy behind the scenes babysitting Favre and the gang ?

Was he getting paid a boatload ? I can't believe they could not get a draft pick for him

Would've gotten at least a precious 5th rounder for Sitton in 2018 simply by allowing Sitton to walk next March instead. Comp picks.

This may be a sign that Thompson plans to retire sooner than later.

And the reason I don't post much anymore is because I would love to make a joke about a former democrat running as a republican to get his friend elected, but then everyones panties would get up in a bunch that I'm talking politics, then they would run to the Kapernick thread to ......

Don't know why people keep saying this. Sitton hasn't gone anywhere
