Sounds like these teams draft up contracts that are stupid and puts the players in charge of the organization. When he skipped the playoff game it should have voided his contract. Players should not be able to hold their team by the nads in these situations. He wanted out and made that clear. AB should be the one taking the hit.
The Steelers have only themselves to blame . They didn't pay him as much as lesser wrs. They basically gave him the guaranteed money the first year and cut his first year salary to 900K. This helped them resign other players while kicking AB down the road where he could be cut. I think AB and his agent saw a way around the contract terms to benefit them and took it. Everyone here though the Steelers were holding all the cards but in reality they were drawing dead.
