Those guys should have never been on that field and the team should have refused to hold practice there.The dumb FO will franchise him for 19 million and he will again be afraid to get hurt next year. Or they could just as stupidly give him a long term contract and gamble that he would be able to play it out without being injured. The FO needs to ask WWBBD.
FYI: There's also been a report floating around, that has been mentioned a few times on local shows, that an offer was on the table that both sides were working through that was then pulled after he was injured.
I can understand the pulling of the of the offer (its just business) but I can understand AJ's camp vuewing it as a slap in the face. Especially considering all the things surrounding the injury, and him coming back too early in years past too.
I do think he intended to play, but the season was lost by the time of his return. Then I think any chance of him playing the back half went out the window when Dalton was benched. And now its just too late. There's not enough reward to outweigh the tremendous risk in playing a few games.
Just my 2 cents...
