I feel the same as you, man. I remember how stupid i thought it was that we were trading our best player for a guy who even then, was starting to become an issue. (He wanted more money in Denver, threatened to be a holdout, and Shanahan put him on the block).
And a few months ago, when CP was getting into it with Lavar, he suggested that some guys (Lavar, Bailey, Coles), would have wanted out of town anyway because when CP came in he was the new top-paid guy.
Looking back over it all, we lost a 10 time pro bowler, to somebody who has been solid, but not elite. Those were the kind of trades that we were known from in the Vinny era.
Hopefully now that kind of stuff is a thing of the past...
