Only thing I am concerned with is if Rust is leaving to pursue his baseball career.

None of these are losses, wish them all best of luck in the future though.

Just thought it worth noting that, as of 10 days after this thread was created, Mattingly is still listed on the current roster.

Yeah he really was a bust, I wonder if it was partly due to poor player devlopment at LB too though.
This is exactly it. 4 years wasted without seeing a ton of starting time. Don't blame him for walking away now. If he's not going to see the field after all this time, whats the point. The only one that hurts is Connor Berggran. Not sure why he's leaving, by all accounts he was progressing.
