@Shady - I think he meant what he said. I said this on our latest BBP (though my audio was messed up & we'll have it fixed going forward) when Paul said how Andy and A.J. were adamant at the Super Bowl that they wanted Whit back. Well of course they do. Vets like their teammates. They've won with them, they want them around. But really what players want isn't really a concern for front office and coaches, nor should it be.

You can maybe try to read into player social messages as "oh, he's unhappy" but trust me - if they offer $90 million in a contract extension he'll love whatever he thinks the plan is. And if they test the market and leave, he won't like it, or think it's better elsewhere.

Until Ogbuehi and Fisher prove themselves on Sundays, they will wonder. That's how the game is. Gotta prove it. But if they draft Fournette or Mixon or whomever to replace Burkhead and he's a stud, they won't care as much. If Andrew Billings/Marcus Hardison/DeShawn Williams/"draft pick" is more effective than Peko, they won't care as much.

For now, anything you hear/see from old guys are sour grapes in my opinion and if they're currently on the team - think of it like a fan - they're wondering how this roster is turning over just as much as you are.
