Teams cut their losses with high visibility players with issues...Brandon Marshall, donkeykong suh....Clinton Portis and champ Bailey didn't stay home forever and were traded.
I'm saying this isn't unprecedented. This feels more like a move New England would make.

There weren't, though. Not when he was a prime player. Free agency only started his last year in Atlanta, and he signed a one year deal w/ San Fran (really a 3/4 year deal) so he could immediately start another bidding war, which is when he went to Dallas and played out the rest of his prime years. Free agency back then wasn't like now. Hell, Reggie White didn't even get tagged the first year it was in use, and then he went to Green Bay for huge money.
