It doesn't happen enough, imo, and it plays into how the roster is constructed.
Our obsessions with limiting dead money and stockpiling compensatory picks makes us keep dead weight on the roster when we could be cutting those players and putting that money towards roster improvements. Other than avoiding some dead money, I can't see any good reason to keep Burfict on this roster. His time has passed, and he was Marvin's pet.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
