I think the FO saw Moses' film and knew he had lost a step, and had decided he was gone no matter what with Leno and Cosmi on roster, because his contract overpaid him relative to his present production level and talent. One reason people love RR is that he is a players coach. Leno said this is why he signed. Releasing Moses early gives him a chance to sign on somewhere else, and is a class move that typifies RR and why players love him. The FO had obviously 1,000% decided Moses was gone, maybe they wanted him to take a pay cut he refused, and it was the right decision. The reps can now go to players competing for starting spots and learning our system, rather than those with one (slow) foot out the door.

A good point, it also occured to me after my statement that if he were injured while they were holding on to him then they would be on the hook for his salary this year, so from that perspective cutting him now rather than later was a better idea
