but it makes sense.

I wasnt a big fan of Felton but didnt see him being released.

The running game is lacking a power runner not saying Felton would or would not of filled that role but now there is a big ? Mark in that department.

Saying that i have to believe Schartz and Mayhew have something in the works, there will be plenty of powerbacks hitting the market shortly. Lets go Martin we are all dying to see a mayhew…

We might be looking at Will Heller playing some fullback this year guys.

wow! He said something quite straight forward with no obfuscation.

He’s met his quota for the year, so expect more simple statements of “We saw room to make a change and went another direction”

The mystery I see in this is what’s Clapp’s role or why wasn’t he cut as well.

I'm assuming

It was a service to Felton so that he could find another team before the season begins. The other fullbacks aren’t owed that courtesy or even necessarily expected to get a job elsewhere, so they’re collecting paychecks until they have to be cut.
