It's been said countless, millions of times before...he's not a team player, selfish, can't catch, divides the locker room, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Although I agree with all of that......the REAL reason, and to what's best for the franchise would be to cut TO because you just traded away 3 picks, and paid that guy a butt load of money.
#2's aren't traded for three picks and then given something like $48mil (I don't know the exact #). IMO I think that will be the reason TO is sent packing this offseason.
I realize the cap hit we will take.....and I realize that will miss some production. But to smart with the organization, and to make the most sense, you have to make Roy the #1 guy. I don't think it would be smart to wait another year. With the investment that they have put into Roy there is no time to wait....and continue letting him be the #2.
It's pretty simple when you think about it, and it should be an easy decision for Jerry and the gang. It's about doing the smart thing for this organization.......and for once not the emotional thing.
