I don't agree that was the "reason." You said it yourself, this may be more about metoo PR stuff than anything. League had no basis to put him on the EL based on precedent, and so they needed Pats to release him. Once released, he is left to waffle in the wind.The “dumb texts” are likely WHY he was going to be put on the EL (or at least were the camel-paralyzing straws).
Now if you are saying they used the texts as the "excuse" for the release (no official reason has ever been given for the release), then I won't disagree.
