What was he doing that warranted being released so abrubtly, reading Playboy and eating a ham sandwich on the sidelines? I dunno, man.
As I said before, I believe with all my heart Mike Shanahan is a competent NFL head coach, I'm just not sure his methods are always in the best interest of this team. If anyone thinks Devin Thomas is done in the NFL you're crazy.

I don't think anyone is saying DT is done. He has some value. I really feel DT is not a Mike Shanahan type of player, that is all. Nothing personal against DT. Shanhan likes over achievers, DT is a classic underachiever. All the physical skills in the world and not enough drive to be a top WR. DT is content being on an NFL roster and collecting an NFL paycheck.
I really feel Shanahan does not want to waste time with players that are not his type of player. Shanahan is trying to clear out the players that do not meet his standards. It is not some kind conspiracy or desire to get rid of all Ceratto players.
Look at the benching and eventual release of Derrick Dockery. His days as a Redskin are numbered. Dockery is the opposite of the type of O-lineman Shanhan likes to have. Dockery is slow on his feet and not the brightest.
