Told by whom and expected by whom? 

Those dolts at the combine though the early tag meant we were trading Tee. 

Unless he heard it from someone in the Cincy orbit, it means nada. 

It would not shock me, but it would surprise me. I still think he is here. 

EDIT: The reason I am skeptical is we do not have a replacement lined up. An early release signals at least one, if not both, of:

1) We plan to go big in FA and want the Cap space. A Reader + 2 big FAs scenario serms in play. Reader + 1 and some other, smaller fish also easier.

2) We plan on making a run at a FA RB (Henry, Jacobs, Barkley, Chubb if released).
