And we should feel sorry for the guy because we're trying to get something out of him in addition to the cap hit?
Look I'm all for dropping him right now. But because he's less than worthless. Not because we owe him something for his stellar effort.

So blame the Raiders for giving him the awful deal in he first place...
Blame Kiffin for confiding in him, handing him the starting nod last year, and he wouldve kept on doing so if not for a badly injured back...
Blame the Raiders for keeping a "worthless" player around, and trying to get some compensation for him....
Blame the Raiders for facilitating this animosity in a guy that wants to move on, and that has been told to stay away from the team but yet keeps stringing him along unfairly knowingly that he has no future here...
Say what you want, but many other players wouldve been a cancer during this, and if that wouldve happen, it just wouldve given this fan base more ammo to shoot at him...
Both parties should move on amicably; both have made mistakes, one has no needs here and has been bad, the other needs to realize that cutting their ties and paving the way for the new guys will make life more easier around here...
