The new allegations and the press pretty much only asking about him was the most likely tipping point. There was also a payment deadline on his bonus that was today.
So they could keep him, at a cost of at least the 5 million that was due today, plus his weekly salary, and be totally out when the commissioner declared him ineligible, or cut him loose, be done with the distraction and bad PR, and probably only owe about 150K for the week he played.
Pretty easy choice.
