Lastly, I just don't agree with you on the notion of "Watson fiasco." If you are approaching this from the morality standpoint, then you have to turn around and give Loomis and the FO credit for bringing in guys like Demario Davis and Benjamin Watson or severing ties with a player like Junior Gallette.

No one that I know of knows the specifics or I haven’t seen them available to the public. That said, there are reasonable assumptions that can be made due to the cap vs what we have to work with.

Look, I get the recent only the ‘only the facts matter’ movement but a fact of many matters is that perception can sometimes do more damage than reality and if no one had a discussion with those players before their names were listed that’s piss-poor management. I suspect agents were notified of the possibilities and they in turn told their players which is why there was a general tone change on social media for some.

And maybe no one said sh1t to anyone because no one’s name was up for trade but that in it self… well you see how much anxiety it created in these forums? Now be a player left in the wind.

If I’m a player and I’m traded as part of a last minute deal, I get it, that’s the game. If I’m part of a trade package for 3-4 days and no one tells me, I won’t tweet I’ll be in the correct persons office and we will discuss future expectations.

On your last paragraph you’ve completely misunderstood me. My comments have zero to do with my feelings on the morality of the decisions and everything to do with a players feelings after he puts in work year over year to build something and he is sent elsewhere due to someone else. This also isn’t about players that do not pull their weight lol, no one is wanting Junior Gallette in a trade.

Seriously these players get pissed if someone starts a game before them and you don’t see sending them to another team as a bone of contention?
