I liked Allen and I liked Gonzo. But I've reached a point as a fan that the players mean very little to me anymore. Most of em have become mercenaries like Favre. So I've pretty much stopped putting any emotional investment on individual players as well, they are nothing more than pieces to a puzzle. All I care about now is this team winning a championship. Who is on the team when we do that, I don't care. I have the same attitude about it that Haley does. If you want to work hard to win here and you want to be a Chief, then come on board. If not, then we'll get rid of you if we can get appropriate value. Otherwise, suck it up and do your job, or you will be replaced and gotten rid of when you have no more value.
Pretty cold, but some of these players basically leave me no choice. I like Gonzo as a player, he's a great individual talent, but a guy who basically wants to bail on an organization and gravy train another organization because he wants to win a playoff game, well that has nothing to do with teamwork or building something or working hard. That has everything to do with his selfish desire of setting up his legacy. Jared Allen had everything to do with his own issue with Carl. He could have gotten paid but it wouldn't have mattered because he had a grudge with Carl. Whatever. It wasn't about the fans anymore and it wasn't about working hard to build a winner here. See ya...
