Why would the rattlers go and relase Siaha "their biggest off-season free agent" a season ago after one year, especially if we have Joe Germaine on the way? Some might disagree with me saying this but Germaine and Burley, are like Bonner and Gatewood. Just when I thought management was starting to get their things together, they go and pull a stunt like this.

I am just thinking this may be a salary cap issue, and hopefully it is. Burley was one of the highest if not the highest paid Rattler. Once free agency opens up the Rattlers need to sign Germaine and McKelvey as well. That may be the main reason for this. I know the league has the free agent thing on hold so as of now the Rattlers don't have either at this point. Germaine to Burley works perfectly, so does Germaine to McKelvey. Hopefully more information will come out to let us know what is going on.

What do you mean he was hurt a bunch? He was injured the first few games last year and then played the rest of the way through? Dumb argument as far as the consistency goes.
