His only possible reactions to no you can not seek a trade is
1. play quietly and leave when you get a chance.
2. throw a tempertantrum and hope the team trades you.

Actually, that's not true. He has the same choices we have. He could not play and sit out and If he continues to sit out forever, he will lose his job and could very easily become an announcer, a burger flipper, a high school coach, a college wr coach...who knows. But he has multiple choices. Just cause it's not making what he is accustomed means nothing. He has a special, and privilaged job that millions upon millions dream about having. If he doesn't want it, there will be a slew of people lined up to have that job, and he can join the regular work force like the rest of us. Why does everyone assume that the ONLY thing football players can do is play football? There are hundreds of football players that play 1-2 years then join the real world work force...happens all the time. CJ is no different if he doesn't want to play by the rules.
