Teams don't pay 28 year old back up safeties who don't play special teams 6.2 Million per year. His play wasn't great and the team wanted to get younger so they did right by him cutting him early so he can sign on somewhere else and have a chance to start. With the Chargers losing a safety and with the Cowboys maybe needing some help the timing is great for Illoka. As for not trading him, no one was taking on that contract for a player that is flawed.
