I think if he's a distraction early on, you suspend him again for 4 games and sit him at home the rest of the year like the Bucs did with Keyshaun. THEN, you wait until the off-season and dump him.

Exactly! A firm foundation must be laid by a firm hand. He needs to show everyone, in exponential terms, that he runs the show and no BS will be tolerated. To do that, you need to make some examples of problem players to set the tone for the greater good (rest of the team) before you have a winning culture.

Or just get rid of them by releasing them or trading them, which is what Bill Belichick did this past off season with Richard Seymour (not really a problem, but obviously the team didn't want him there), Randy Moss (didn't want to be with the team, so he was released), and Adalius Thomas (problem child that would not get with the plan, released before the draft).

Meanwhile, you are asking the team to be like the Bengals, a team whose owner insists on keeping malcontents on the team.

Well the Pats got high draft picks for both Seymour and Moss. The Pats don't get taken on trades, they do the taking. So far I'm not sure anyone out ther is offering us a high draft pick for Train Wreck.

But they straight up cut Adalius Thomas, who was the true problem child of that bunch. The point is that Belichick doesn't keep malcontents around. Heck, Chucky got rid of Keyshawn Johnson after he was suspended (similar to the Haynesworth suspension).

The difference is Thomas was not paid the type of money that AH is getting, nor was he this big of a distraction. Also KeyShawn at least was a productive player for TB. So far we've basically got nothing out of AH. If AH is going to disrespect the team that paid him millions then he shouldn't be allowed to be a free agent. Sit and rot.
