I do agree that you want your team buying into a disciplined philosophy and falling in line behind the leadership. But you can get that accomplished by sitting his ass on the bench until he decides to fall in line.

He didn't have leverage in the situation, there were plenty of seasons left on his contract.

Granted, there is a cost. You have to carry $5.4 million in cap space for a player who may continue to pout. And the locker room has to deal with the distraction. But we'd have been better off in the long run incurring that cost until he came around, rather than trading him for a measly 5th round pick two years from now.

he probably will do better in new england stat wise, although while playing here his stats wern't bad either, but as you said he will be playing next to wilfork, not carter and carriker.

and the second part of your statement makes no sense, the locker room has to deal with it? they had to deal with it last year and it was a huge distraction and it effected the team in a negative way. why would you want this to continue, for a half dozen sacks a year? i'd rather have a uniform team with everyone on the same page striving for one goal together.

and yoiur biggest flaw through out your entire arguement is that we would have to wait for hanyesworth to come around, how do you know this happens, because form all acounts of this guy he has no intergrity or heart and would never come around.

you usually have a good argument and a leg to stand on, but in this case i just don't get it, kinda like driving slow in the left lane
