Another thing I've seen suggested is that they might want to avoid the bad look of giving up on a guy with a few months left on the last year of his contract, especially when the team might make the playoffs after he's been a loyal player during so many bad years. It sucks, but I think almost every franchise is guilty at some point of giving too much love to a washed-up veteran who's hurting the team.
