Who knows???

He is a class act, and one of my favorites, but its time to move forward.

Don't get my disappointment in seeing him go mixed with my understanding of the busines side of football and where this team is going. It is fully understandable as to why they cut him loose. I said as much a couple of days ago when you look at our cap penalty and how much we are paying TEs.
