Taliaferro was outperforming Pierce anyway.. Dude is a monster.. So it made Pierce expandable, but they won't ever admit anything like that.
And I really liked pierce as a person. Idk why but I feel like I know every Ravens member as if they were an actual friend of mind, and I feel bad when shyt like this happens.. I wish nothing but the best to dude, Pierce a decent backup RB but he just kept getting injured..
Anyways he's a smart guy so I'm sure he'll be able to find work outside of the NFL if need be.
