Carrying someone for a year or even half a season when you can use the roster spot for someone who can contribute... hmm.

You get roster exemptions for suspended players, but we'd still have to pay him. He's already overpaid in my opinion and to overpay for 4 to 6 games he won't even play sure makes you think hard about releasing him.

I think I'll have to get the administrators involved, because I suspect there was intention behind trying to hurt my feelings!

If he can play at the early 2010 level, he wouldn't be overpaid in my opinion, since $6.6M is less than what other leading LBs are making in the league.
