Can't believe he got outplayed by Pryor and Matt freaking McGloin.
He wasn't THAT bad in his start against the Redskins. He did get sacked 7 times, but Oakland's offensive line is terrible. One of the big reasons Pryor got the starting job was because of his scrambling ability, but even he's been sacked multiple times each game. He wasn't worth what they were paying him, but that one game doesn't justify a demotion to third string and then being cut. It seems to me like there was something else going on with this situation that the general public may not be aware of.

Agreed. They were already on the hook to pay him, strange to see him cut just like Freeman.

Maybe, maybe not. Probably just a classy move by Oakland. They knew he wasn't the future QB there, and they're already on the hook to pay him, so it was a generous move to release him so he could try to catch on with another team in desparate need of a QB right now.

My thoughts exactly. When the coach demoted him to 3rd string and said "it just didn't work out here" after ONE regular season game I kind of thought it was either a desperate move by a rookie coach to show the fans and management that they are willing to make big moves to improve their play OR Matt said something after the game along the lines of "our line and your play calling sucks". total blessing IMO. Hope he gets his elbow fixed and gets a few tryouts with other teams that are actually worth a darn.
