This is the continued purging of TT's roster.

We couldn’t get something?
Off the field unknowns?
Did he fully recover from his injury?
I can’t help but think we are about to sign/ trade for somebody,..perhaps an ILB

(Well no FS, but moving Tramon to FS opened up the window for CBs with potential).
This seems to be all about opening spots for young guys with great physical potential to grow into, giving them a chance to grow... also probably saving cap money/space in the process.
And same with TE Graham, whom a number of people want gone... there was no young guy with great physical potential to grow into the spot, which is one of the reasons Graham stayed (plus I think he could be a great fit for the slot role in this system... but so could St. Brown or Moore if they develop and show more, so Graham could be gone next season if they develop, but they didn't look quite ready last year and Graham clearly has better in him, in a MM system that doesn't use TEs nearly as well (according to some of his past TEs)).
