You're just playing dumb to win a debate, Fred. Regardless of how much a player is getting paid, if his body quits on him, he's done. If a player is done with an organization after years of losing, what can the coach do? Is he supposed to rah-rah him into compliance?
That sure didn't work on Corey Dillon or Takeo Spikes for Marv.
Geno was injured his last year and just getting older. AJ had what not played football for a year and a half and not the same player he was but I don't personally feel was used the best in 2020 but that's another debate. Now for Dunlap he certainly wasn't washed up but maybe not the player he was but he certainly was not checked out mentally. If he was he wouldn't have been so upset with the benching he would just sit on the sidelines and collect his money. I think his beef was the coaches didn't have the sack/respect enough to sit down and talk to him about the situation. Who wouldn't be after 10 years and putting in the kind of work these guys do.
