I'm sorry you did not enjoy the tongue in cheek aspect of the post. The underlying element is that while some assume that he is Belichek's type of player that there are many factors that go into any such decision. Whether he twitters or speaks words to a reporter, he has a history of immaturity getting upset because a fan said something mean to him and such. It has not been shown that New England appreciates that type of speaking out and, in fact, values self restraint when making public comments. The Jets might be a better fit for Whitner.
If you read through the thread, you'll see that I'm in favor of bring him back at 4 million or under. I feel that his enthusiasm is valuable to a point. The indications are that he wants more than that. I would not be willing to give a player who plays somewhere between average and 'good' more that based off of a contract year especially given the struggles he has had and shared via twitter.
