Why are we not reading this headline?

I'm ready to go with the young guys, Pacman declined this year anyway so time to move on with Kirk, Dennard, WJ3, Shaw and a rookie or 2 in rounds 3-7. 


BUT....  

One thing that it does if we cut him is basically give all the leverage to Kirk in free agency as signing him would almost be a must. I don't think that is why they are keeping him right now and even if it were the main reason for them not cutting him I think they would keep him on the team after they realized the media and fans had cooled down in a month or two anyway.
