If Vince really thought he is still worth 8 mil a year and wants us to respect his wishes, then why not ask for a TRADE to a team he finds to his liking? Either way we eat the 3.6, so why not show the team the respect of getting something back for him in the form of a draft pick?
I call this request selfish and juvenile on his part. I'm mad, I'll show you? Really? If he thinks he's worth what his salary is, then someone would at least pony up a late pick for him. Now other teams know the situation is untenable and he has backed the FO into a corner as well as himself.
If we release him and he can't get an offer for what he thinks he's worth than he has no-one to blame but himself. Sorry Vince, your wrong on this one. Stamping your feet immaturely won't do anything but bring your market value down and pidgeon-hole you as a 1 year rental. Good luck with a multi-year offer. I doubt it.
