    Maybe it is my simple hillbilly mind, but I do not understand this era's lack of team loyalty
    just to chase a dollar amount.

    I can see getting rid of a player that seems washed up, but just to chase the cash sounds
    very selfish to me.

    Very few that make these changes on their own flourish in their new surroundings.
    Gone are the days of the Vikings Bud Grant teams; Don Shula's Dolphins; Tom Landry's Cowboys;
    Joe Gibbs' Redskins; Cowher's Steelers - where team unity were cornerstones to success.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    LOL reminds me of the time former Razorback basketball player Oliver Miller was offered a HUGE contract to play for the Dallas Mavericks, and he didn't want to play for the Mavericks, so instead he signed with the Toronto Raptors for about 60% of the money the Mavs offered him, and Toronto IMMEDIATELY traded him.

    To the Mavericks.

    LOL

    Le'Veon sat for a season and lost money and is now with the Jets. Antonio went off his rocker and demanded a trade. Then he trashed everyone from the owner to the players in order to force their hand for whatever reason.

    So Antonio is gone, and JuJu Smith-Schuster moves up to number one WR. Hell, he did better than Antonio last year, so I'm ok with him for sure! They signed FA Donte Moncrief this morning which is great! And now it's "next man up!" for a few others!

    Le'veon is gone, but James Conner looked great at most times, but he's no Le'veon admittedly. But still a 1,000 yard back IMO if starts the entire year, which is what you want from a RB.

    At least they used some of the savings to sign most of the O line. Antonio costs us $21 million this year.
