Bledsoe will not walk away from the team.
All of this talk is idle speculation on the part of the Ed Werder's of the world.
When he said he had no interest in being a backup, it was during an off-season, not in a mid-season... totally different circumstances.
It's not in his character to abandon his responsibility, and he won't do it here. If he does, I'll be shocked and it will totally change my opinion of the guy.
He'll certainly walk after the year is over, but he won't leave now.
I think he's a long-shot now to make the HOF, but you never know. There's also still a possibility of him seeing the field again this year due to injury or poor performance, so the final chapter of his story may not yet be written.
