Did the Chiefs Cut QB Ingle Martin to Make Room for Tyson Jackson?

PrintWe have one little tidbit to go one with this but it's from a good source: Soren Petro and The Program's Twitter feed.
Ingle Martin not at evening practice. Speculation is he may have been cut to make room for Tyson Jackson to be signed.
And now we've got confirmation of Ingle's departure from Bob Gretz over at CBS Sports:
The Chiefs have waived QB Ingle Martin. He was the team's No. 4 QB. That leaves Matt Cassel, Tyler Thigpen and Brodie Croyle.
Martin remains on the roster but this info is solid. With 81 players on the roster (with Martin still on it), a cut would bring it down to the league mandated 80 players if Jackson signed. Jackson currently does not count against that roster limit. The Chiefs would have to cut a player if they did indeed sign Jackson.
Now for those of you thinking that these cuts don't happen that abruptly - like a guy would be in the AM but not the PM practice - remember that K Connor Barth was literally packed up and ready to go to camp before he knew he was going to be let go.
Thoughts on Martin's departure? Are the Chiefs getting ready to announce the signing of their #1 draft pick?
H/T to Reno_Chief.
Update: 7:54 PM Gretz chimes in at his own blog:
Although there’s no indication that negotiations between the Chiefs and No. 1 draft choice Tyson Jackson have reached a point where a deal is close to being done, one can speculate that the release of Martin was to create a roster spot for a signed Jackson.
Come on #3 overall pick....

Why couldn't we get Minnesota to give a draft pick?

I would trade Thiggy to the Vikes for Sidney Rice!
Trade Thiggy to some sucker team NOW while he still has some value.

Funny
that we were just arguing that some said Martin was beating Thigpen. So much for that. Then again, he may have been, but the fact that Thigpen brings some other things to the table probably didn’t help.
How bout 3rd string QB / slash slot wide receiver?

Actually Thigpen didn't make it in the trashcan,
but he did hit the trashcan. Ingle Martin made it in the trashcan on the first day. Second day he hit the trash can on a bounce.
Because Brodie a 10X better than Martin

I saw her in person in San Diego when they were walking in at curfew...
Daaaaaammmmnnnnnn!!!!! thats all!
I dunno about that...
If Brodie was cut he would have been picked up the next day, because he has a name in the market. Ingle Martin doesn’t have a name, and will likely come back to be our practice squad QB.
This move will still allow us to have all 4 qb’s when the season comes…
Well I was completely wrong...
Matt Gutierrez was picked up
Poor Ingle
sounded like he was working hard to try to make the team. I kept reading he was the first one on the field everyday. oh well. I guess we really dont need him. I do wish some of the other guys had his spirit though.

Roll Brodie out there in a plastic bubble

Croyls is 2nd best qb on the roster…..putting health issues aside

Putting health issues aside..
Reggie Lewis is a hell of a b-baller.
New Stiga table?!?! Return of the Brookside Pongers???
Thigpen played much better as our qb than Brodie ever did
Has everyone forgotten how boring our offense was with brodie croyle as our full time qb? Thigpen came in and brought in a swagger to our offense..We went from terrible to pretty good in less than a season..
Who cares about Brodies arm or potential

Okay back to Thigpen as slot receiver
