We are still in a massive rebuilding phase. You don't build talent you weed out those without it.
I would think if they are gonna drop 8 this week its the obvious ones and then they will try and trade 3 or 4 and if they can't they will drop them.
I predict 10-12 changes this year, including rookies, no sentiment.
There is no point keeping anyone on the list who wont make it.
