Dunlap not starting this week

[Whatever]

He's been a  professional. His agent spouted off about how Tate "may" want to seek a trade in the future if they didn't activate him. Given Tate has only one way to secure another contract, and that's to be on the field, it's pretty much a given. Unless I missed it, Tate did not take it public and call what the coaches are doing "madness"

Players often rebuke their agent's claims when they speak out of turn. Tate never did, and since the agent works for him, the only real conclusion we can reach is the agent got his marching orders from Tate.  The agent is Tate's representative and that means Tate is responsible for him.

Everyone is always playing for their next contract.  Do you hear Siebert or Finley complaining about their PT because they have to earn that next contract?  Jordan Evans?  Shawn Williams?  It's the NFL, not youth soccer.  Not everyone gets a chance to play.  These guys are well paid professionals and should conduct themselves as such.  When the first guy gets out of line, you have to handle him.  Now, if they crack down on Dunlap after giving Tate a pass, it looks like Taylor is playing favorites and he loses credibility.
