What's fucked up here is the guy did produce. So I get why he wants more money. But when you play a key position like pass rush and a GM like Roseman deals your ass and then the team you're dealt to elects not to pay you and instead opts for hardball... This probably means there's some kind of dysfunction somewhere. Either he's an asswipe in the locker room, or he overvalues his contributions in terms of contract, etc. Something's not right there.
GMs and front office types are a network. If you do some shit that labels you as an outlier you're gonna have to deal with the fallout. So to me this entire evolution makes him look like he's got something wrong. And of course the Jets receive a good dose of bukkake because, well, they're the Jets.
