He got his money then he wanted to get back to cali. If he really cared anything about winning then why did he refuse to play for a team that had made the playoffs twice in five years but agree to play for a team that had not won more than 5 games in seven years?
I see you changing your narrative, there. Nice.
He gave up the money knowing full well that the team very possibly would not trade him and allow him to remain out of football. He didn't blink and said he didn't need the money. It was never about money. It was about the organization and the way it is run, and you know it.
He played for the Raiders because he's a football player and they weren't owned by Mike Brown. Regardless of record, he wanted out from under a dysfunctional organization. Whether or not he went to another one is debatable, but it was a different ownership group nonetheless.
