We drafted Burrow #1. We benched him for Finley. Burrow is the starter and everyone knows it. Andy waited to see if a deal could be done to do the us a solid and get a pick or player back. But that was not happening. 

He did us a favor by asking for his release. The PR is easier. No QB controversey issues for Burrow if he struggles early. And we now have $14 mil in cap space to further improve the team. 

Andy was classy until the end, welcoming Burrow. He did a ton in the community. And he cost himself millions of dollars by asking for a release.

Quitting would have been collecting $17.7 mil to hold a clipboard and then buggering off next year. Instead, he takes a huge paycut to try to win a starting job elsewhere, freeing up space for us to improve the team, and you come on here and blast him for it.

Yeesh. Get. A. Clue.

This all the way.   The guy was class all the way.

Bizarre interpretation of the situation.    

What was he quitting?   A backup roll for 17 million a year?    He did us a favor
