While I do understand why that's bad, I also can understand why he didn't want to be here. I'd feel pretty weird if I was 1 of the reasons a team almost made a SB and then get disrespected by old man coughlin and watch a terrible Bortles get paid while I stay on a rookie deal alongside the rest of our younger players on defense who deserves to be paid.

Let's not forget, the NFLPA said the jaguars made up most of the league complaints during that time.. and tho he went to the most extreme to leave, it's pretty clear he wasn't the only guy who wanted out.

I think most people here (at least me) would be less bothered if he had sat out and lost the game checks. If it is about pride/ principles I can respect that, even if I don’t agree. He wanted out while being paid for a job he refused to do. Faking the injury and mocking the Jags/ fans afterwards was a bridge too far for me.
