I do think that Brown thought he was bluffing, because I think the idea of walking away from money is completely foreign to him. I think he accepted the trade to Oakland because of his relationship with Jackson. Ending up in Arizona makes complete sense from a standpoint of system and also proximity to his family.
Things have reportedly gotten better since MB has begun to step back, but I cannot fault people for not wanting to be here during his reign. Keep in mind, there are grown men, they are adults with minds of their own. If you or I don't like our boss or the company we work for, we simply quit and find a more preferable situation. These guys don't really have that option. So saying "I've made enough money, I refuse to put up with this any longer" is not illogical. Or at least I don't think it is.
You are only proving my point: you don't see Carson as a quitter because you feel the same way as he does about the franchise. How many other players over the last 4 years have wanted out of so badly other than Carson? Doesn't appear to be a trend and Brown is still the owner and Marvin is still the coach.
