If Franklin just couldn't take it, and he was treated like everyone else, then good riddance.

As with all rumors, who knows? Time will tell if Haley is handling the team correctly. We don't have enough information to make that assessment.

I don't care if he was singled out or not. If he can't handle it, get the fug out.

I'm sort of the opinion that maybe he saw something in the kid that made singling him out worth it. Maybe he saw some potential if the kid was really ready to bust his ass for it. If the kid laid down then he was never going to reach the next level, if he steps up, who knows. I mean really, it isn't like Haley hasn't seen the work ethic of some of the best WR's in the league.

I agree.

I consider the comments by Haley and Pioli during their press conference yesterday about Engram and Thomas being reliable and in shape coming into the conditioning program as a good indication of why Franklin was cut.

All indications point to Haley using this program to set a tone that is obviously less loosy-goosy than under Herm. Franklin probably was singled out, but not without reason from the Haley/Pioli perspective.

Gotta make an example of someone I suppose.

It sounds like exactly what they did.

Otherwise, you'd think they'd have been able to get something for him: Player for player trade, 7th rounder.

Just something.

I'd love to know what it was, specifically.

Excellent point.
