Not sure what there is to be too surprised about, Hilton is a scrub. That's life in the NFL for a scrub. I guarantee this won't be the last time he gets cut.
Being 6'8 doesn't mean shit if you can't get off the line and can't get open. Not saying that he can't, but there's certainly more to being an effective TE than just being tall.

Wonder what the hell Hilton did to get dumped already.
Its probably not what he did but what he couldn't that got him dumped.

I think the team has the pass catcher it wants in Cooley, and whatever other TE they put on the roster (Yoder, Hilton, whoever) HAS to be able to block along the line of scrimmage.
Maybe they got Hilton in practice and realized he was a crappy blocker.
