MNF: Raiders vs Lions

breesgirl said
What I often hate most about when good players leave is the revisionist history many fans engage in.

Anzalone- too injury prone to even consider re-signing

TRex- had only showed big numbers in one season(contract yea) and had much larger offers we wouldn’t have paid even w/the money.

Marcus- Wanted a change in scenery.

Ceedy—The malcontent (who we already offered more money to than other clubs)has already ended up w/his 3rd franchise?

Kaden- was lagniappe. He, like Trey, showed up for one season. Also, he wasn’t going to usurp #20.

Oneymata- Fans were ready to ship him off before he signed with ATL. He hadn’t been a monster since getting hit w/the PED suspension.

Our fans cherry pick when to complain about the dead money issue. Cause I didn’t hear much of this when we were collecting FA and extending players in the preseason/early this season.

I literally listed many of those things.

Trey- You don't trade up on multiple first round pick busts to let the 24 year old pass rusher knocking down double digit sacks in spot duty out of your building. You find a way.

As for the signing of players in the offseason, we shuffled players based on affordability and signed Carr. We can't afford to move on from any starter on the team that isn't in a rookie deal we are so locked up with cash.

Anzalone the fans jumped his arse for making a bad play in a key situation. He played in every game his last season here. After realizing he is 29 years old I feel less bad about him not being here.
