Of course the injury was real; he had surgery to repair it after he gave us 15 productive games with it in a contract year. He could have easily shut it down early and had the surgery instead of hurting his FA chances by having it in the off season. 

I don't see Gresh quitting on this team unless folks take Lap's BS over facts.  

I think Lap based his opinion on what he knew at the time.  Gresham practiced all week and was a big part of the game plan, then couldn't go on game day.

The key issue is that the herniated disc wasn't discovered until Gresham did a physical with Oakland during FA.  As far as the Bengals knew, he wasn't hurt that badly.  I don't think Gresham knew how bad his back was screwed up.  If he did, he would have seen a specialist right after the season ended.
