You don't hear about alot of people getting crapped on by the Patriots or Colts or whoever else and being bitter against those teams for the remainder of their career.

I don't know what the reason is, but this team has a real penchant for kicking people out the door in an incredibly foul mood.

Certainly doesn't win us any reputation points, and more importantly it sure hasn't done much for the team over the past decade or so.
I am honestly struggling to come up with a player besides Coles who left this team in disgust based on how the FO treated them. Guys come and go in this league and they often get upset when coaches decide they aren't worth keeping anymore. But that's no the FO's fault. That's not unique to the Skins.
I would propose that maybe the negative pub that the Skins get in this regard has something to do with the overall negativity towards the Skisn by the media? I think that has an awful lot to do with it.
A great example the other way is the situation with Ty Law in NE. I don't remember a great outpouring of negativity for Belichek when he up and dumped Law like the Skins have done to some other notable players. But the Skins do it and they get the negative pub. Fair and balanced? Hardly.
