It is pretty annoying we're going to flat out cut him, considering Tennessee reportedly offered us a 4th rounder for him. Another gaffe by Shanahan.

Now that this news is out, we won't get a side a rice pilaf for him.

Consider Shanny's predicament, he's in his first year as coach/gm. He's got to change the dysfunctional culture of the team & at the same time make the most of the assets before him. Since AH agreed to take his $20 mil bonus & play in the 3-4 Shanahan had to commit to making things work & getting the most return on Snyder's huge investment (which Shan. & Allen didn't have any part in). Snyder will not be happy either way, but if Shan. shows that he made every effort to get him to buy in, at least he can tell the danny that AH had worn out his welcome.

Also, taking a one-sided trade offer is not good for future bargaining. He & Allen have to let the nfl know that the Skins are not going to do deals like Vinny did. So far they've been pretty good in that regard.
