Alternate factsFake news no doubt.
He will be reinstated then cut. There's actually a cap savings by doing that.
The above situation is the only situation that I would be pissed. Cap BS aside, if they thought what he did was bad enough and wanted to cut him, then they should have done it long ago on pure principle. If they wait 3-4 years for him to be reinstated and then cut him, that's ridiculous. They had no problem cutting ties with M Floyd, Dwyer, etc...
At this point, if he gets reinstated, they might as well try getting some production out of him.

I think there are financial reasons to hold on to him all this time. they have been trying to get some of the $10m back on principle. I am all for principle but sometimes like in the Floyd case I would have sat him and taken the comp pick that New England will get.
