Did he even play today? Might as well cut the guy because he is as good as gone at the end of the season. Gentry has seen more action than him.

I agree, what is the point, just release him now? After Glennon, the worst FA signing by Pace this offseason (for the money).

Cutting him is little more than a spiteful move. The money is spent either way. With extremely little depth at WR there is zero reason to release Wheaton. Job 1 right now is to get Tru up to speed and that isn't helped by bringing him yet another WR to learn the offense with 3 games to go. Genty had his shot too so no need to go back to that dream. Besides, Gentry has much to work on this offseason, mostly improving his quickness in/out of cuts. Let's give our QB some consistency with the WRs who are running routes for him in practice, even if they haven't been that productive in games. There is plenty of time in the offseason to address who stays and who goes.
