He says hes been in touch with players about losing Antonio. Gibbs said to Antonio last year that we had real confidence in him and we guaranteed his money for last season to give him some confidence. He says he felt like we did that, and Antonio stepped up. Gibbs tried to bring that up in negotiations saying that he should choose us, we stuck by him when he wasnt a big name. Apparently old Pierce didnt buy it.
