I think the most shocking thing about it is that this means he wasn't even good enough to be a backup...I mean we are paying him either way, what happened that he couldn't stick around even at 3rd string?

Roster space?

Thats a really good point. And it is too early to release players like him to make roster space. They still have to pay him, so why not just demote him at least long enough to try to work out a trade or something. Might be more to this story.
