He says hes been in touch with players about losing Antonio. Gibbs said to Antonio last year that we had real confidence in him and we guaranteed his money for last season to give him some confidence. He says he felt like we did that, and Antonio stepped up. Gibbs tried to bring that up in negotiations saying that he should choose us, we stuck by him when he wasnt a big name. Apparently old Pierce didnt buy it.

Remind me to scratch Antonio from my Christmas card list..hmmmmmmph
:coach: YOU DID THE RIGHT THING JOE!!!!!

I also really like how Gibbs has kept some of the players informed about what's going on with Pierce and Smoot. Randy Thomas said it's a real classy move on Gibbs' part.

It shows Gibbs respects and really cares about what his team thinks, and he wants to keep them in the loop.

It's all about team, guys. We're going to see the payoff soon enough.
