I love to hear about players' personal lives; it gives them such a human element that I never take the time to consider when watching them in uniform playing on Sundays. I still don't understand how the Lions were his choice over us though. My understanding was that the contract numbers were basically the same, weren't they? (if I am mistaken on this, please let me know because if we were outbid by a reasonable amount, I could understand his leaving much better LOL) And then in this article he talks about the Lions winning a championship, which seems ludicrous to me to consider them to have a better chance to do that than he would have had here. Playing time would have been the same between the two teams. So I guess at the end of the article, I just didn't really understand his reasoning for leaving any more than I had understood it before reading it. I thought he was going to get to a point where he had a bunch of family in Detroit or something, but no... it just kind of left me hanging. and the worst part: I STILL DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY HE LEFT CINCY TO GO TO DETROIT!!He didn't want to be in AJ Greens shadow. He wants to be a #1.
