I agree with you. I posted this before and im going to post it again b/c i firmly believe this.
AH and his agent never had any intention of having AH play out the remainder of his contract with the skins after he received the 32 of his 41 million guaranteed money.
He tried to force the skins hand in trading him by being enough of an offseason problem to get traded but not going overboard and cementing his rep as a problem child.
Shanny and Allen tried to trade him this offseason but they werent just going to give him away. I bet vinny would have unloaded him.
AH is a mercenary. He plays for money. His two biggest seasons came in contract years.
Now that he has received that 32 mil, there is no way he plays here for the next 3 seasons contently making 5-6 mil a year.
Next offseason, I see him uping his antics since declaring he wont do anything not mandatory despite the new coaches strongly worded dictation that we wants full 100% participation in all offseason activities didnt do the trick.
It only makes financial sense for AH to force the skins hand in trading him so he can sign a new contract with his new team and get yet another big pay day. If he plays out the next 3 years of his contract with the skins, his window of being in his prime and getting another huge pay day will have passed.
Lets face it, vinny really screwed the pooch on this one. yeah it was great that we were able to offer such an attractive offer to land him, but front loading that contract to take advantage of the uncapped season really left nothing for AH to play for after he collected that 21 mil check in april.
Im sure allen gave danny a lecture on just how stupid of a contract that was.
there are articles regarding what i am saying from nfl execs as well.
AH will not be here after this season. Im surprised shanny stood his ground and didnt cut bait already but i think in shanny's eyes that would mean he lost in the battle of wills and as a coach you cant let players dictate their role with the team.
