The only thing gained by the release of one of those TE's is the distance from fumbles, dropped passes, and mishandled catches that turn into interceptions.

release of one of those TE's? Why not just name the one?

Naming wasn't required. Only one of those two provided any cap relief (Josh Hill) and the other (Jared Cook) was obviously the one with the issues mentioned.

Personally, I expect Josh Hill to be re-signed at a more cap friendly rate later.

Josh Hill has been a soldier and frankly there's a double-standard on Payton's part in making sure guys that put it all out there for the team get commensurately compensated...

I get it's a business, but that's a convenient excuse for Payton et al, and yet we overspend on others who are useless or are a distraction in the clubhouse...
