This is exactly right. The reason why Orton wasn't retiring was because he was making a business decision with regards to what is best for him. Dallas not cutting him would have been the exact same thing.
so why didn't he?
Or 3 million other reasons.
Yep.
Initial reports were he threw a wing ding at his season end exit interview.
He could have done this months ago if that was the case. At least we won't have the guy faking an injury to screw the team out of his base salary too.
I don't think he did well against the Eagles, and in retrospect, it was probably a sign of a guy whose heart just wasn't in it.
How would you like working for the league's biggest retard owner? A guy firmly rooted and committed to MEDIOCRITY.
I think there's portion of the roster that's simply here for the paycheck and don't think the organization is worth a shit.
So it's Jones fault that the larceny comes out in a few players. If players view owners this way why doesn't every player under contact just take the money and not play. You really cannot blame the devious practices of some on an owner. They put out the money in good faith and expect the players to live up to their side of the commitment. That is a reasonable expectation. For all the faults Jones may have this cannot be laid off on him. People are either ethical or dishonest. Sometimes a person will sell their integrity for a few bucks.
I didn't say it was Jones fault, but everyone saw Ratliff bend him over the barrel and Spencer got paid elite money while being hurt.
True but that shouldn't serve as an invitation to a person with integrity. It apparently draws out the dishonesty in some. Jones is soft handed with players and some appreciate it while others expose their true nature. Those are the ones that need to be taken behind the barn and thrashed.
