I feel like we're going with the unnecessarily harsh "you ain't shit, GTFO" move here, when in reality it will be a respectful exchange.

Here's the convo:

Alex: Ron, I want to keep playing. I know I can do this.

Ron: Alex, I respect the hell out of you because you went through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side, but we can't have you back at your salary, and we want to get younger at qb. It's not smart to rely on a 37 year old qb with an injury history as your #1 option in this game.

Alex: Ron, I disagree but I respect you for being upfront about it.

Ron: Alex, we're gonna let you go, but:

(option A)if you can't find a starting job somewhere else we'd be happy to have you back as a backup, on a backup's salary.

(option B) I know with your work ethic teams will be calling, and I'll put in a good word for you if you need it. Good luck.
