I do think this was a bad time for these comments to be made public, but I don't have a problem with him feeling the way he does about this organization.

Champ I agree, he was frustrated with the constant turnover and he wanted out regardless of money.
Smoot and Pierce both stated they wanted to be here, and both were considered by Gibbs to be core guys.
Pierce especially gave the impression that he really did not want to leave, but in the end he left over a deal that gave him more up front money. I think it was more of a difference than just a few hundred thousand because of the way the contract was structured.
Smoot and Pierce both left over money, not the direction the team was going in.
