Warcodered Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Makes some sense, he's still obviously really good, but here lately it just hasn't felt like he's been that same year to year DPY dominant player he's used to being. Not a bad decision to go out on top before you start to have the inevitable decline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 His talent is undeniable. But he's been low key one of the dirtiest players in the game for a while. And he'd throw massive sh*t-fits any time an OL got the better of him. So...I dunno, adios, turd nugget. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definite 1st ballot HOF and one of the most dominant players on defense I ever witnessed. Between White, Smith, LT, Lewis to name a few that I watched as well.

It must work some way There was a wildly convoluted plan in order to make that actually happened, which included Brady originally joining the Dolphins as a Front Office hire, and then negotiating his own trade from Tampa Bay to Miami, before he could take the field as a player.

Between White, Smith, LT, Lewis to name a few that I watched as well. It would be a good discussion for fans who was the most dominant defensive player they watched in their lifetime. Peter Schrager asked Bill Parcells "If you had the chance to start your NFL team with any player you've ever seen, coached, coached against who would be that one player in NFL history you'd start your team with?" Parcells response: "There are priority positions in this game, quarterback is one of those, so I consider that," Parcells began. "But if you're pinning me down -- I'm a little prejudiced -- I think I'd take Lawrence Taylor." Coach Billicheat: "I would just say I wouldn't put anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor, period," said Belichick. "Maybe I'm prejudiced, he continued. "but I saw that guy every day for over a decade and he tilted the field for a decade. Until somebody does that, and there's a lot of great players. I'm not taking anything away from anybody else. There's a lot of great players that have been in this league, that are in this league, but personally, I'm not putting anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor. Not yet."

The team HAD to know it was coming and were ok with it. Otherwise, this is a huge move by a player to screw over his career team on his way out and would be a hilariously bad look for the Rams.

I believe most contracts have restructure language pre-built in so it isn't something they likely needed to discuss with him. There have been some rumored trade speculation around Donald the last few years. Nothing saying he has requested one, but it has definitely been a topic on most sports shows. Curious if he wanted one last go at a ring this year and the restructure guaranteed that he could not be moved so he called it quits. Trouble wrapping my head around this. Something must have happened internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
