The more a player is traded the more their value is diluted. Even if he had two 1,000 yrd seasons, he's 2 years older + drop balls + everyime he catches it he has flashbacks of that catch against Dallas which means he takes two steps back in order to get into better position to break a big one because he thinks he always can. Also I'm sure he's not an easy teammate to deal with. It's SMART to cut our losses now. Ireland's not stupid, his detracktors are. That's the truth IMHO.
