Probably the best that could have come from the situation. If he couldn't sit on the team somewhere and be accepted, best to get rid of him. Even if he did sit this year, I doubt Nik Lewis and the guys who didn't want him here were just going to forget about it.
The guy must have some maturity issues or something if he decides to quit 2 days before camp to go hang out in BC. If that's the case, might be better not to have him on the team.
The O-Line has played well this year, and Huff has rewarded them by saying that even though this kid was a first round pick and won a grey cup, he's not going to take over your spot and what you've fought for so far this year.
I just hope it doens't bit us down the road because of his age. He's young and a lot of our guys are getting up there. We will need to replace some of these guys in the next couple of years. Laz and Comesky and such.
But basically we got something for nothing. The guy quit, and we all thought that was the end of it. He comes back and the attitude is obviously not there and the team is rolling, we trade him and get a pick out of it. Just don't really like trading him to a divisional rival.
