Locker room cancer, off the field issues, and frankly I think Joe Philbin just didn't like him. No one is denying he still has ability and he would have greatly improved our offense, but do we want young guys learning from a guy like him? Same for Vontae. Do we want our corners learning how to use their hips in coverage, or learning how to get off the field when they're tired? If Philbin preferred production over personal issues, we would have kept Ochocinco as well. He was clearly head and shoulders above everyone else in the receiving corps in TC, but he's just not the kind of guy Philbin wants on the team, and frankly he's the coach. I don't care how good you are, it's Philbin's team and he should be allowed to have his own vision for our future come to life his way.
