Why is THIS not being discussed ad nauseum in the NFL Media world??

Sorry, don't meant to "Spam" the board with topics today, but they are unrelated topics and I thought this was VERY interesting... and even more interesting that its barely been mentioned. In my opinion, this is as bad as the Riddick situation, and just as weird, stupid, and clumsy:

 

Patriots move Chukwuma Okorafor to reserve/left squad list, ending his time in New England

Story by Matt Geagan

 

FOXBORO -- Chukwuma Okorafor's Patriots career is over after just 12 regular season snaps. New England moved the disgruntled tackle from the exempt/left squad list to the reserve/left squad list on Thursday.

With that move, Okorafor is now ineligible to return to the Patriots this season.

After he spent his first six NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England signed Okorafor to a one-year, $4 million deal over the offseason with the hopes that he could switch from right tackle to left tackle. He struggled during the preseason and lost the starting job to Vederian Lowe, but started Week 1 after Lowe suffered an injury in the team's preseason finale. 

But Okorafor only lasted 12 snaps into New England's Week 1 win over the Bengals before he was benched for Lowe, who was questionable heading into the game. Okorafor was reportedly upset with his role with the Patriots, and informed the team of his intentions to leave the day before their Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Though Okorafor struggled with the Patriots, his departure leaves New England extremely thin at the all important left tackle position. Lowe has been ruled out for Thursday night's Week 3 clash with the Jets with a knee injury he suffered late in Week 2, leaving rookie Caedan Wallace to protect Jacoby Brissett's blindside against New York. The third-round pick played right tackle at Penn State, but put in some work at left tackle during training camp.
