There seems to be a massive gulf between reality and Robby's perception of his own value to an NFL team.

Given his cap hit, Robby Anderson is a net negative. 

I get it, there's a long history of NFL WRs being divas, but most of those divas are HOF candidate caliber. Robby is on his way to becoming Freddie Mitchell. I'm just waiting for him to thank his hands for being so great. 😂

"Thank them?"  He's probably insured them.

In case of injury suffered from patting himself on the back.

Robby needs to stop concerning himself with personnel moves and focus on not sucking this year.

Working in the “higher end” hospitality industry you end up crossing paths with a lot of NFL guys/celebrities. I cannot overstate how disliked Baker is universally by every one …and I mean every one I know when he stays with one of the hotels I work with. It’s well known he doesn’t tip, is incredibly rude and looks down on any one who isn’t a millionaire/any one who can’t help him better his life somehow. If he was Aaron’s Rodgers talent cool be Rodgers jerk like. But he’s closer to Sam Darnold in talent. Robby absolutely needs to work on his craft he was awful last year but he’s doing us a favor speaking out and vocalizing what so many who have had encounters with Baker. Not a single teammate came to his defense. Not one…Baker is a locker room cancer and Robby is right in not wanting him here.

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. Baker has flashed enough ability in the NFL that I wouldn't have wanted to completely mortgage my franchise on a massive trade for Deshaun Watson unless something like this was stone cold fact. The reality that no other team seems to be so much as even entertaining trading anything for him practically confirms it.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
