While I definitely agree that his roster spot could go to someone more deserving, there are certainly reasons for keeping him on board. Like many people have already said in other threads, the cornerback position takes a very long time to go from rookie to stud. I think Zorn and Vinnie and whomever knows that Tyron isn't going to be helping this team anytime soon, but just like Carlos (who was a much higher pick) it may take a few years before he really comes into his own. So really, it's more of an investment in the future than anything if you ask me. They probably see some things in him that are promising and believe they can work out his rookie mistakes in the meantime.

Is it the right thing to do? Who knows. But you asked why so..
