Respectfully, fullmetal, I think you're way off base in believing that the team is fine with this decision.  They are good teammates so they are keeping their disgruntlement in-house, but really, it's hard to see how anyone who has played competitive team sports would not have a problem with this.  They might understand it - heck, I think most of us "get" the thinking behind Christian looking out for his own financial best interest - but like it or agree with it?  That is an entirely different matter.

Possibly you are correct, but usually when your teammates are upset, word gets out. Somebody says something. CMac has decided he won't be back next year. Given that, it may be better for his team that they prepare for that fact. They may fully understand this. If I were BLove or CScarlett I would be quite happy that CMac wasn't playing. No ill will to Christian, but he is gone. Him playing just cuts down on the opportunity for the backs that WILL play next year. If these backs didn't exist, yes, it would be very selfish for Christian to leave his team with no running game. But they do, and maybe BLove will want to start building his highlight tapes.
