I actually have to give Trouba some credit.

It sounds like he was pretty honest about his intentions for a long time. It's not like he slammed this on the Jets just before becoming a UFA. He gave them a lot of time to work it out.

I'm not sure I buy the fiance argument though. It feels like the rumours about Trouba have been around since he entered the league. Has he really been engaged that long, and has his fiance really known she had residency offers coming for years?

I think he is just using it as an excuse because he wants to play is a large U.S. market.
