Both Kruger and Mingo have been reported to have grumblings about their roles, so no reason to keep them.  Mack wanted out when he signed a RFA contract with Jacksonville but had it matched.

My guess is it's to get picks for them before they become malcontents.

For Thomas, I'm sure they know it will be a long road and are trying to give him the opportunity to go out with a winner instead of another rebuild, but this way can get something in return.  I wouldn't be shocked to see them trade him to the Broncos.
