Why you may be specululating a bit here. it's hard not to believe you haven't hit the nail on the head with your comment. Full damage control by his agent. By the time 94 made that pay cut comment it was already way too late. And he knew it, the fans knew it,and the whole FO knew it.
No doubt he will have interest and probably get a decent contract somewhere. In Buffalo he quit on his teammates, the fans, and more importantly himself. he will be remembered more for quitting than his few years of dominating play. Why he wasn't benched last year is a head scratcher.that falls on Ryan. And all the coaches that let it continue. Well managed teams simply do not put up with that crap. The Bills have a ways to go and it's more than players.
