The craziest transaction here, I think, is the Wylie release. While I thought he was on the bubble during the entire preseason, his release now just shows that Reid and Dorsey are a “play now” mindset. You couple that with the Moeaki injury and then release and you see that if you’re hurt and aren’t a top shelf talent, you’ll find yourself unemployed.
