The Problem with letting a player rot away on your team is the situation its going to create with other FAs. We are already limited by being a small market team, if we start benching and fining our better players to sabotage them, how will that realistically play with other FAs. Ideally, it will show that the franchise wont be held ransom, but really, the NFL is similar to the NBA in terms of players being buddies off the field nowadays. And a lot of them are represented by the same agents/agencies, so burning bridges will come to haunt you, you dont want your franchise to be labelled as being spiteful to its own players if things dont go the right way. Plus, you are absolutely tanking the value of the player you are benching. Ramsey also has the support of some of his teammates, so if Ramsey starts to not show up to practice next week, I say fine him and move on QUICKLY. You dont want this to be a season long debacle/distraction.

That being said, I hope he balls out tonight, so that his value stays high (for a trade) or even for the reason that TC/Khan find a way to make him feel appreciated (not gonna happen, I know).
