So what can he possibly be hoping to negotiate? By league rules, he has virtually zero leverage, correct?
Could there be something else in play? Another failed drug test, perhaps? Something else?

There is a little more wiggle room for later rd picks, but this is a guy who smoked before the draft knowing he would be tested. It is why he fell to us because of that decision making.
If you ever watched him play, there is no doubt he has all the talent in the world and I would be shocked if one day he wasn't a huge contributer. I hoped he would dismiss his own actions before the draft as a mistake and get his butt into camp be working with Romeo and Hali so he could be a factor this year for us. We really need him to be this year.
Many have speculated he might be waiting to get clean, but it rerally doesn't take THAT long especially if you work out and sweat a lot.
