Mitchell didn't have a problem with Green really as much as Green did with Mitchell.

I mean it's true that Snyder and Cerrato were enticed by the appeal of Deion, but actually letting Mitchell go was largely influenced by Green.

Darrell Green= 20 year face of the franchise, NFL's fastest man, 1st ballot HOF, perennial all-pro, pivotal to our 1987 super bowl run, etc.

vs.

Brian Mitchell= Loud mouthed Special Teams player, solid return man, never more than a third down running back!

Who should the franchise have sided with? Besides, I have a hard time believing that Darrell Green was petty about charity work recogintion. That seems a little far fetched...imo.
