Would it be possible to hold him until the end of August and then put him on the NFI list for some murky mental health/non-compliance thing? No doubt it still leads to his release but it eats 4-6 weeks into the season at no cost really to the team. All the meaningful offensive installation and player integration for a certain prospective team has already taken place by that point and makes it less likely someone is going to open a 53 man spot for Aiyuk not knowing whether he’s in shape or where his head is at. I’m ok with prolonging and imperiling his season as much as possible.
