Not a fan of how he's doing. I understand players get upset when they get benched but he could have waited till the end of the season to request a release. From the eyes of fans it sounds like he just quitting. But like I always say.... Not my team and not my concern.

They benched him to screw him out of money. He's not a great QB but he's objectively better than anything else they have on the depth chart. He got bumped from starter to playing scout team safety in one week, and it was solely to prevent him from hitting any contract incentives on his way out.

There's ansolutely nothing wrong about asking for your release when your employer has actively worked to prevent you from making money and you both know you have no future there.
