This is my team. Jimmy loved hardesty and would have done anything to keep him if he could. This is simply a move to make the team better. They are clearing space for a fantastic upcoming draft... including a stud QB finally.
That's too bad. He was so much fun to watch his senior year. Great Vol. I really hoped he would have a solid pro career.
But, maybe with his injury history this is for the best. He's still young. He's got his whole life ahead of him. He's got time to start a whole new career that doesn't take such a toll on his body.
