Why would anyone want to come back to a company that clearly didn't want him and then showed him the way to the exit. Personally, I'd have been pretty sad about it. He's got a SB MVP and a SB ring. Don't understand why there is so many butt hurt members here. There's just nothing about him to dislike,
Bro, just look at Tariq Woolen, his situation was similar but 10x worst because he didnt get any heroics (quite the opposite letting the Rams back in on stupid penalty and then giving up the TD on the next play, and then being the one to ruin the shutout in the SB). The team likely didn’t even talk to his agents to try to bring him back and that alone probably threw up so many red flags to other gms, derailed his market, and he had to settle for a 1 year prove deal with the Eagles.
And Woolen still came back despite having the longest flight and not only that of all the FA that moved on Dareke Young and Kenneth Walker literally had the shortest flights.
Sure Walker’s new team can take priority but still its kind of punch in the face to all the people that sacrificed and put their bodies on the line for him, the people that he bled and sweat with as brothers, the people that despite what he might feel gave him a hell of an opportunity. He could have went to a worse off team and be nobody. He could have gotten 2/3rds of the work load and got injured and missed the playoffs, and not gotten paid. Its a punch to the face to his fanbase especially the ones that bought his jersey and spent their own time idolizing or defending him every step of the way.
I get that he’s shy, quiet, and introverted but still theres really no excuse other than he could not care any less about any of it. And thats cool and thats his own decision, doesn’t mean we cant talk about it, especially when he missed out such a great presentation and perhaps a once in a lifetime celebration that he might regret one day.
