James Hurst retires

St. Widge said
I mean, he was under contract. Seems like it would be a dumb move to tell him that just before the draft so that it looked like they had even more needs on the OL.

But, I agree it likely has no affect on who they take in the draft. They needed to upgrade from him anyway and he wasn't going to play OT except as depth.

Which means he was going to be cut and opted for retirement... He was likely a non-fit for the incoming new OC and scheme... I gotta believe that the plan is too see what we can get this weekend... then have at least 3 vets on deck with hand-shake deals in place to bring in post draft.
