The dude just wanted more money over being in a winning environment on a winning team. To each their own.
We don't need guys like that on this team anyway.
We signed him last year on a 'show me' contract. It was specifically designed to give Jason the ability to showcase his ability for a bigger payday in 2013.
He was a guy who needed to reestablish his name. We needed a guy who was hungry and wanted to play for a cheap contract.
We both got what we wanted. Seattle, whether it's coaches or players, has established a strong track record of enabling people to make their mark and move on to better things. We are a pez dispenser of opportunity here.
We are entirely about getting 'the next Jason Jones'. We just need to get the next guy to seize upon opportunity so they can move on too.
Good for Jason Jones. He took a risk playing for less to prove himself. We gave him that opportunity and benefited from his cheap production. Time to pass that mantle on to the next hungry vet.
Couple of guys who could use a reboot on their careers:
Sedrick Ellis
Glenn Dorsey
There are others of course. These guys certainly would love to establish their worth again, as their second contracts are going to be a shadow of their rookie deals at this point.
