After all, look at what they did with Bowe. So far nobody that they cut was high on talent but low on doing it their way. They were low on talent.

I believe in the philosophy Pioli and Haley are bringing to this franchise. Talent is paramount, but equally, so is discipline, dedication and hard work. If you build a team, you do it as a team. When your on the field you work as a unit, the WR is no more important than a gunner on Special teams. Sure the WR may have more god given talent, but both do there jobs the way it's coached and at a 100%.

The more talented player see's his reward on his paycheck, the ego shouldn't be a part of it. No one should get a free pass, period. That being said, sometimes you have to make exceptions for aging vets and keeping them healthy.
