He said players would earn those spots. So no matter who made these calls, it's clearly not what Ballard preached, because lesser players are being kept and players producing are getting cut.

Tell me that Basham earned a spot on this roster.
But Ballard said, basically, in the piece above that although Simon is better right now, they think Basham(lol) and Turay will be better down the line.

That’s the opposite of “earning” your spot.

That reeks of hubris to me. “The guys I drafted are better than some guy i signed off the street”.
