Every year, players are cut for all kinds of reasons -- health, age, salary, need. And every year, someone's favorite player is the one to get the bad news.
Has there been a time when your favorite player is let go -- right out of the blue?? If so, who was it?
For me, I remember that one of the very first things that Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren did was to cut Mark Murphy. I remember him as always being around the ball and, though getting up there in age after playing 11 years, was a solid piece of the defensive backfield. I was shocked to hear that he had been cut -- not knowing that his replacement was already being groomed -- one of a long line of outspoken DBs from Florida State and was ready to make the move from Corner to Safety -- Leroy Butler.
