decisions that some poster find so fundamentally objectionable, I am less concerned about the practice of cutting some players loose, given the relaxed rules re transfers (and NIL, too, I suppose).

There's no doubt still a ton of subjectivity in that process. But, at least there is some objective data showing the lack of progress. Maybe it's lack of effort (a least as measured by the bio-sensors). Or it's a failure to fix physical flaws in technique, despite reasonable efforts made to rectify them (by coaches and players alike, who both want the player to succeed).

And there are always underlying reasons why the effort or results are lacking. But at least there is some data showing that a specific shortfall exists (and it's not just a coach being arbitrary about performance). So, like an academic scholarship that requires one to keep a "B" average, for example, the implicit understanding to keeping in good standing on the field is that you put forth the effort, and are capable of achieving an acceptable level of proficiency when you are out on the field making plays.
