Gresham wasn't actually healthy. He needed back surgery in the '14-'15 offseason for a herniated disc. The medical staff not catching and fixing that followed by Dave Lapham publicly roasted him for quitting on the team. Then he had to settle for a 1yr/$3m deal in FA because he got the back surgery so late in the offseason when FA medical checks confirmed he really did have a back problem that needed surgery.

I like Gresham, but that bridge was thoroughly burned by the Bengals medical staff and Dave Lapham. There was no way he was coming back in '15.
