Interesting IG post from Tolbert re: Olsen and TD contracts

[KSpan]

"Now it looks like everyone's getting what they wanted. Pay these guys!"

All signs continue to point to the most recent negotiations, rightly or wrongly, being the catalyst behind the firing.

And Tolbert's delusional if he thinks his play on the field hadn't 'deteriorated'.

EDIT: Looks like it's also buried at the end of the Gettleman firing thread, but worth calling out on its own.

And this is why this franchise will continue to be no more than mediocre at best. The fan boys think we are close to another SB run........we aren't even close.

We took 5 steps back in one day.

i hope they want to go 7-9 every year, bc that's what they're going to get

Tolbert still bitter from being cut. Still used to the Hurney way of just throwing him the vet friend extension vs cutting him following a horrid season post him playing a major role in the super bowl collapse (2 fumbles)

Why? Does DG play LT and we just didn't know about it? 

DG got fired because he somehow pissed off JR. The next GM will do what JR wants or suffer the same fate.

I'm getting really fuggin sick and tired of these spoiled ass players coming out and chiming in. Notice how most of the players throwing shots at Gettleman are the ones who were past their prime and were mad that Gettleman didn't pull a Hurney and extend their washed up asses. And Tolbert should STFU anyway, we couldn't get rid of your worthless fatass fast enough. 3 years of dead weight for this team.

So, did Gettleman say Tolbert's skill has deteriorated? 

There's definitely a better way of letting these guys go, and Gettleman didn't know how to do that. Had to let him go, as it seems a great deal of the players, past and current didn't like him.

That contradicts everything Tolbert has said earlier in February:

“Because that showed the type of respect that he has for me, the type of respect that Mr. Gettleman has for me. They didn’t send an intern to come get me. They sent the head guy in charge to come talk to me.”

So you are basically bashing Gentleman for being honest?

[panthers55]

All of this angst and doom and gloom are way overblown. Hurney and Gettleman were at opposite ends of the spectrum. There is a lot of room for someone in the middle who can manage the money and be respectful and professional in their management of personnel. In other words you can be fiscally responsible without being a dick.

You'll have to take that up with Tolbert, then *shrugs*. I'm only going by what I see in his current IG post.

I'm not bashing anyone, and haven't bashed him. I do believe that if he told Tolbert his skills have deteriorated, then I can understand how someone could see this as disrespect. I just think talking to people the right way is an important quality.
