The big problem was waiting until the 11th hour to decide they wanted to clean house. If they had started doing this in the off season they probably could have gotten decent value for TG and LJ. Now we have a couple of high paid players who don't want to be here. That's just fuggin great.
I can't put in to words how much I hate Carl Peterson. If a 32 year old player wants out after he has busted his ass for you for 11 years then you should respect that and make the deal. Keeping him against his will does this organization no good. Even if it was a 4th or 5th rounder just to get rid of his salay is best for the organization at this point.
As much as I love Tony they should have never re-signed him or LJ last year. I felt that way at the time and I feel that way now. They were obviously rebuilding even though they claimed differently. However, I have to also blame Tony for signing with the Chiefs. If you couldn't tell this team had no chance to contend last year you were in complete denial.
