He was going to be cut, 100%, and he knew it. He also knew he would command a small salary on the open market once there. I am sure that factored.

Read his quote: when I approached Bruce and Scot with my thoughts after the season they were very graceful in permitting me to retire a Redskin.

Translation: they were going to cut him and all of them knew it. They agreed to hang onto him until he filed retirement paperwork.

Everybody knew it was over, the Redskins, Kory, and the league. Life goes on. He's easily replaceable.

Wow, I take it you didn't like him.
