The LC and TL situations are remarkably similar in detail; however, I think there is a very crucial difference as to how they were handled by their respective clubs. New England, recognizing that both cutting and trading TL was cap prohibitive last year, basically told him tough you're playing. Now he was much more vitriolic in his words than LC was, calling the coach a liar publically and vowing never to play for the Pats again. However, the Pats organization stuck by their guns and made him honor his contract. Now that he is entering the downlside of his career, they finally cut him loose, maximizing his contribution and minimizing his cap hit. Smart.
The Skins on the other hand have entertained both cutting their best WR and trading him for a clearly inferior player (who they will of course sign to an overly lucrative contract-extension). Now after this entire debacle they are entertaining keeping him out of necessity. This has been an absolute debacle which has dominated what was otherwise supposed to be a quiet offseason. Both Wilbon and Pasquarelli are right as to what have been done. Show him the contract, tell him that's the deal, end of story. If you don't like it, sit out a year. Instead they have, unsprisingly, done everything wrong again.
