Sorry to hear the news. He'll probably play Sunday, but if he's gotta do some other business related with his mother's unexpected death, we'll survive.
That money grubber gets my vote. And over all those stiffs we had in the lean years after 1963 to boot. I say we pull a Paul Brown on him and make him retire if he doesn't honor the contract.
Didn't he just sign a deal? I can see wanting to cash n while you can, but how many contract do-overs is reasonable? He's an excellent LB, but it is appearing that greed is more a priority than fullfilling your commitments.
