Yes, he was an amazing receiver, but he was also about getting all the spotlight on him and the flash of the NFL.
I loved him and loved watching him but when he turned his back on the team and held out, I lost all love for him.
If I remember correctly, he even bad-mouthed TJ because TJ said that he believed Chad would be at camp.
If this was all just to help and because he still loves the game, I'd be ok, but it feels like it's so he can get back in the spotlight.
Why'd he wait until we're Super Bowl contenders with Burrow and Chase to try and coach?
Will address the points as they came in, numbered:
1. You know him personally?
2. He really wasn't: it was a dual, 50/50 of promoting the team and him. What about when he bought out 50/50 of the remaining tickets in '09 with Kroger, to keep the sellout streak alive?
3. Even if that happened, did he badmouth or did he just say that he wasn't being a team player?
4. He is on a VERY popular podcast, almost daily, is doing ads and other commercials and has been the, "official Madden ratings guy," for 3 years now. I don't think this would put him in a bigger spotlight than he already is (if anything, it would diminish it, IMO, as he wouldn't be allowed to do the other stuff).
5. He reached out to Zac prior to the '21 season, the first time, before any success came.
