Some dudes get drafted and think they've 'arrived' - Niang appears to be one of those guys. He simply hasn't ever treated this like a job, IMO.
He acts as though making the NFL was the task in front of him. And when you have a guy like Travis Kelce who openly and loudly says "Making the NFL is easier than STAYING in the NFL" I just don't know how you have that attitude. There are maybe 5 guys in the NFL with a safer roster spot than that dude and he shows up acting like he still needs to earn his spot now in his 12th season in the league.
How do you work alongside a guy like that and not rise to his level? By being a bum that doesn't belong in the league, that's how.
This one is an easy call. Niang isn't on my roster even if we DON'T keep Driskell. He's just gone.

How was Niang supposed to develop after he skipped his rookie season? That wasn't going to end well.
