Think of that money that could have been spent filling multiple gaps in the offensive line, maybe sign some younger FAs for depth at DB or WR. The AH move isn't as bad as say the Heath Shuler disaster, but it probably ranks as the #2 disaster of the past 20 years.

Totally agree with you, but he's here and we can't go back and change the past. So lets somewhat forget that the mistake was made to pick him up for such a high cost and look to what we have, a player who is only making what just about all the other players are making for the remaining portion of his contract. Which in comparison is supposedly not that big a deal.
The issue I have is he accepted the $32 mill. Not for free but to perform whatever task was asked of him. and he chose not to uphold his part of the bargin/contract. In VA thats a type of fraud. You get paid to perform a service and you don't do the work that you were paid to do. If the team has no recourse in getting the money back then let him rot on the bench and not play.
