Football is such a cut-throat business and i understand they have a couple young guys they really like, but why not release a back-up OLine guy, sign him to the practice roster and keep Sitton one more year?
Dont like the move at all and fear it will leave a bad taste in many players mouths.

Ryan Pace made a similarly questionable decision in cutting Slauson this year after being our most reliable Offensive lineman in 2015/16. A lot of fans scratching their heads on that decision especially with the cap room and the now urgent need for a Center.
