I believe that Gibbs opened the door to all this by telling players who did not want to be here to let him know so the team could move them on. My guess is that he did not suspect Coles would be one of the guys on his doorstep straightaway.

Once that happened, there were no "good outcomes" to be had. What we seem to have gotten is one of the worst possible outcomes, but given that the FO got involved, what can you expect?

I remember last year when Antonio Bryant went off on Bill Parcells how lots of people here took Bryant's side because of the perception that Parcells was a dictatorial pr*ck. Interesting how none of that shows up in this situation...


FRPLG:

You seriously need to think about anger issues. Wishing a car accident to end a career on someone because he doesn't want to play for the Washington Redskins is something that begins to get real near the edge. Breaking things because a player forces a team to trade him is also not a socially constructive set of behaviors. Come down from the ledge, my man.


That sure is tough talk from Danny Boy but that is the same thing as carrying dead money with you for years to come. Pay Coles and carry his cap numbers and don't play him is not a way to free up cap space for any constructive purpose. Notice how Danny Boy didn't follow through on the threat. Interestingly, he is accused of not following through on promises either by Coles and Arrington. Hmmm....
