The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. Incognito doesn't go accept as a coaches choice which is what he was. He wasn't voted in.
Richie Incognito breaks 35 day twitter silence

Holding him was a financial decision. Philbin wanted to cut him in 2012 after the golf course molestation but was overruled by Ireland. That won't happen again.
What has Incognito done to change Philbin's mind?

If we wanted him or IF Philbin and Ireland wanted him gone that bad then WHY NOT RELEASE HIM NOW , we dont have to hold him any longer , IF THEY Didnt want him LET HIM WALK, Maybe the Pats or the Jests will pick him up .
If they wanted him back, why isn't he? Simple. They don't want him in the locker room. The guy is a dirt bag and not a very good OL. In his 7 games this year he was responsible for giving up 6 sacks. Additionally, there was an agreement between him and the team to extend his suspension. When that expires is when I suspect they cut him. At that point he won't find a team until next year.

They don't want him picked up by a team we are in playoff contention with.

The way I see it, maybe the oline is playing better is because Martin is gone. Richie, to me, seems like the kind of guy I wood like to go to war with on the field. In saying that I would take Richie back if the rest of the team wanted him back. As for Martin, he's a weak link and for me, there is no place on the football field for a weak individual.
I do.

All you have to do is look at the improvement of the oline play to know richie was not good for the team. All of a sudden pouncy looks like pouncy again, we can run the ball, especially to the left side, snd tannehills blindside isn't getting demolished.
It's obviously no coincidence, richie had a bad effect on the entire unit.

IMO it wouldnt hurt to bring him back for the remaining games , and see if it improves our OL because IMO i think it was Martin who was mostly blamed for the bad luck the OL was going through , and if the OL dosent Improve by the end of the year than we can release him .

Let him stay home since he and Martin left this team our line has played extremely well together
I'll say this . . . if this team were to beat the Patriots, reinstate Ritchie, and then went on to lose the final 2 games against inferior teams with oline taking a downward spin in those final 2 games . . . . I want everybody gone.
We haven't done **** since Ritchie joined this team, let him sit on the sidelines the rest of this season.

No coincidence that the line play has been better without both Incognito and Martin. I don't want either of them back...move on.
