I have no idea how the team could have handled it any more carefully. He's been out 7 weeks being candy-assed.
I like to blame ownership for a lot, but this piece of shit is malingering, straight up. It's becoming fairly clear. He wanted to miss games and still collect checks. He deserved to be humiliated for it. I know! Make him play for the Bengals for the rest of the year!
I'd also guess that he may still be a bit butt hurt about being moved out of the LT spot the second Jonah was drafted. Someone's widdle feewings have been ruptured.
Try looking at it from his point of view. Say at your job you’ve been working for several years at the second highest paid position at your company, they hire a new guy straight out of college, hand him your job with no competition and demote you to a lesser position that impacts your future income significantly. Would you not get pissed? He probably handled it poorly if he was trying to force his way out, but I can’t fault a guy for getting upset in that scenario.
