Frankly, the guy just rubs me the wrong way with the shots he took at the departing players this offseason, especially given that he held out on the Texans. He seems like someone who's only in it for the money and a guy like that has a high risk of mailing it in once he gets that final contract of his career.
He declined what?
Far as I know, we haven't offered him an official extension yet.
He's talking about ability, not declining an extension.
He also didn't mention that Duane was injured with an ankle which explains the decline.
Gotcha.
How many players who have held out came back and got injured or dinged up? Most do. It's almost impossible to hold out, come back, get thrown right into games and not get hurt.
Dude played through a nasty ankle sprain, and was still the best O-lineman on our line. Which I know isn't saying much, but it's not a concern of mine if we're talking extension.
like I said, what choice do we really have? Throw away another trade by letting a guy walk AND make our O-line terrible again?
