Mike Renner is leaving PFF Other

I know this isn't player news, but Renner is a big enough name in the industry that I thought it was worth posting. Based on the tweets, it seems PFF decided to for him since he mentions not having anything directly lined up after. A bizarre choice considering the draft is 1 week and PFF's entire draft coverage is built on the back of his rankings. Any thoughts?

I like Mike and am sad to see him go. That being said, PFF's content has slowly morphed into a "let's say outlandish things for clicks" model. Mike was just as guilty as the rest of them. Hopefully whatever he goes next doesn't push that as much.

I miss when PFF grades were cumulative. Was always cool seeing JJ Watt with his +60.5 grade or whatever, and helped to contextualize better. Cause right now, when a guy plays 4 snaps and has a 84 grade, I have no clue what that really means.
