Pierce especially gave the impression that he really did not want to leave, but in the end he left over a deal that gave him more up front money. I think it was more of a difference than just a few hundred thousand because of the way the contract was structured.
Smoot and Pierce both left over money, not the direction the team was going in.

I dont know if having me agree with you is good or not, because I get crapped on most of time. But I have been saying this for a long time. the way this organization has handled people in the past and handles people is why we are in the shape we are now. Granted, it is getting better, alot better. But to have people leave who you have labled as core guys because of a few dollars says things about the organization. Dan Snyder and Co. have been crapping on people, not just players. Coaches, which is why players leave. Champ left because of the constant player and coach turn over, no money. Smoot and Pierce both say they gave us every chance to sign them, which is crap. If they wanted to be here, they would be. We offerred them contracts very similar to what they signed and they left. LaVar is in the same boat. He is being dumped on big time. He has been the face of the organization for 5 years, and because he speaks out about a contract or playing time, he is going to be dumped. Just like Brian Mitchell was years ago. Our return game has never been the same. Brad Johnson another player crapped on by the organization. He goes to the probowl, throws for 3K plus yards, and Danny boy, not the coach, benches him. Its a revolving door of players and coaches, always has been since Dan has taken over. Like I said earlier, before I get blasted, Joe and Co. seem to have stopped some of the bleeding. But we are again going to be faced with people leaving in the offseason, and having to fill gaps with free agency because of lack of draft picks.
