I get it tho, I'm not saying anyone is wrong to not want him here for those reasons.. I'm just saying that i'd be fine with a player of his caliber coming back at a position we kinda need.

I remember this differently.  He arrived at training camp with what a brinks truck? When he didn't get the new contract he wanted he got an attitude. Unfortunately we had a couple other A personalities in the organization and he began a pissing war with them.  This was brought to a head when he went over their heads to the owner. Our owner stepped in and met with him and by all accounts (even by him) smoothed things over.  That's when he faked a back injury to force a trade so he could cash in now!  He never loved anyone but himself. so you can quit that now. I wish him well in his new location. He was successful where his coach wasn't in abandoning ship. Maybe because he has experience at it.

The original reason for his issues were that Tom Coughlin scolded him like a child because of the little spat between him and Marrone on the sideline, and even tho Marrone and him were both cool after the fact Tom treated him like he was a child and he took offense to that, and then couple that with watching Bortles get paid undeservingly while himself, Yannick and others were left on rookie contracts for no reason..
