Had we not extended Kamara we could have traded him, but whats done is done.
As for Lattimore’s trade being ‘in the works since december’ it was never real until it happened. Lots of things have been discussed and not happened. Kamara was not restructured until this extension after we restructured the rest of the entire roster, so a Kamara trade could have happened if not for the extension. Maybe we would have moved Adebo or Olave if not for the injuries. |

Believe it or not some people have personal value that greatly outweigh monetary values. I know I have passed up on opportunity that didn't align with what I felt was best for my personal philosophies.

You respect Kamara as a nostalgic heart, I respect him as a business man who negotiated a 150% premium.
