I know it was Vinny's shit (more likely Dan's), but it has to be dealt with. Once the contract was redone and he took that 21 million dollar check, and lied to Shanny's face, it became his issue to deal with and he's doing it the right way.
It's a simple message. You take the money and lie to me, and I'm going to end your football career with you watching the game from at home. Didn't Dan threaten L. Coles with the same thing about buying him a TV?
At this point, he has three options.
1) give back some of that signing bonus (fat chance)
2) sit at home on inactive list and have his career rot
3) come in, attend camp/OTAs like others, and play like he's supposed to (fat chance as well on this)
You absolutely do not give him what he wants (to be cut to resign with another team for yet more money). If you do that, what do you think the next idiot comes along is going to do? (aka...shaun rogers)
