I like this guy and I'm not sure why.
Some salient points from the article
* Seahawks offered a workout, he declined. Seahawks would have offered vet min, he wants more.
* Jets say that was a no-show for a preseason game against the Giants WITHOUT TELLING THE TEAM. It wasn't until the next day they confirmed he wasn't in any danger
* His response was that his agent tried to reach out to the Jets organization multiple times the day before the game
I think I've heard enough
One more tidbit
* Last month he worked out with the Detroit Lions, left without a contract
The article concludes with
Although he still has the talent to help a secondary, it doesn't appear any team is willing to make the type of investment he's seeking. Between the bizarre situation with the Jets and the fact that he hasn't played more than seven games in a season since 2011, there's risk involved unless it's a simple, short-term contract.
Sounds like the Seahawks did the right thing: did not close any doors, offered a chance to a player still not signed to play with a playoff team at the vet min, let him filter himself out. And he did.
