    No, he's mad that he wasn't given a new contract and is almost certainly going to be a cap casualty next year.

    Seems like if you are going to get cut, the last thing you should be doing is skipping workouts and complaining to the media. Talk about minimizing your earning potential.

    Unless maximizing your earning potential is not your primary goal.

    I hope JVG got a chance to talk with him as a Texans fan in an attempt to bridge the impasse as an intermediary. :grin:

    What are the odds that the Texans (i.e. Mr. Robert C. McNair) will cut AJ80? It took craptacular seasons for him to move on from Capers, Carr, Kubiak, and Schaub.

    Some of us fans who haven't earned over $70 million will not comprehend what you mean by that. Some of us just assume AJ blew his money at the cheese cake factory and he's desperate for next year's pay day...

    If he shows up for mandatory activities all of this will be forgotten.

    I think the reason he's throwing a fit is becasue he doesn't want to have to work his ass off to learn a new system only to get cut as soon as the season is over.

    Context: AJ80 skipped practices last year, regular and pre season. The reason given was that keeping AJ80 healthy and ready for the playoffs out weighed the need to practice.

    I expect the same this year. Now if AJ80 skips learning the playbook that is another story.

    No... You don't Baller. I've seen you say several times you don't believe Dre is worried about the money... You need to read Major's post I was responding to.

    And I guess it's ok for everyone else to make assumptions and not me... Gotcha :)

    Remii I was talking about those that keep assuming they know what's going on in Andre's mind. Lol not you good sir. I agree with your stance.

    I suspect this is true. If so, childish behavior from AJ80

    Fair enough, let's all stop assuming.....of course that means the end of this thread and pretty much the end of the entire forum....but we wouldn't want to assume anything.
