Maybe. Or maybe he realized that the longer he'd stay on the roster the more difficult it would be to find another spot while minimizing his leverage when BB inevitably came knocking around camp time to take a pay cut.
I think if the Pats had asked him about that it would have happened the same way it did with Allen. About a week before FA.
Either way, he is gone.. one of the less successful FA deals in recent memory.
He saw the money being tossed around, asked about his future, BB gave him an honest answer, so AC decided it was best to take his chances, and Bill gave his blessing, because he would have likely found someone new anyway.
Underrated how Bill understands the value of relationships.
