Sometimes we dig too deep, whereas I think the answer is right in front of us. He’s aging, becoming injury prone and slightly overpaid (at least in our FO eyes). Add that to I believe we think we’re fine at the DL.I’m not really concerned at all after adding La’Darius and Gary and I think they want to give Montravius some more looks also. They might be thinking bringing LaDarius up more and getting Fackrell at that OLB spot with PrestonI’ve also seen some speculation that he didn’t fit the protypical body type of what Pettine is looking for,  I’m not not sure if that’s fully true but it also stands in line with what we’ve seen in the last couple of drafts and FA as a whole (taller, faster, younger, healthier track records replacing guys who are or near the end of their football life cycle and who are slowing down or often injured. (Jordy, Cobb, Perry, Mathews and Daniels were all staples of this team just a few short years ago).I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we move on from Bulaga at years end to stay in this trend of players surprisingly let go.But yes, money always factors in significantly. Let’s face it if Daniels resigned for a 2yr/4M extension and we reworked his contract at 4M annual? (for illustration) he’d very likely still be here.</blockquote>
