Graduating and transferring is = NFL contract ending and free agency. He was free to switch schools after his obligation was done.

If AD left via free agency then the Quitter label wouldn't stick. That didn't happen. He instead asked to be traded during the season when the Bengals decided 3 losing seasons & an 0-8 start wasn't good enough. He then doubled down on quitting the team when he asked to be released now instead of remain on the roster to fight for a spot or be traded later.

I know you won't back down, but lets talk about the trade thing.

Last season, Andy asked to be traded. He was not. Did he still show up and participate in practice and team activities? Was he still dressed and on the sidelines during the games Finley started? After Finley's opportunity, did he start the remaining games and help the team to their only 2 victories last season?

That's not quitting. He didn't give up and he continued to do what was asked of him. He even helped the team to their only 2 wins last season. I don't care how much you hate the guy, how many mental gymnastics you want to go through to make this real, or how bad your understanding of the word quit is, he did not quit last season. There's no argument or debate to be had. It simply did not happen. Asking to be traded is not the same as leaving the team and sitting at home.
