In the article he states that his release was most likely related to his pay vs performance as well as the outspoken part. I don't particularly like the titles of the article because it doesn't reflect what he says.
Also, when you have the owner telling you to continue doing what you are doing, what the hell is the guy supposed to do?
Me personally, I think Kluwe was cut for his performance vs off-field drama they have to deal with. If Kluwe was the top punter in the NFL, a team may overlook the extra media attention. As it is, he's a average punter and wasn't worth dealing with the extra media headache and high pay.
