We hear it all the time. Especially when vets play smaller roles on teams, they get praised for being team first kind of guys. Sam is doing the opposite. They may not hate him for it, but I figure some would get rubbed the wrong way. Especially the guys he plays with, since he is essentially saying that he wants to play with better guys than them. A true teammate would never make a lesser player feel inferior.
If it were me, I would rather approach my team-mate and ask him about what is going on and how he feels before jumping to conclusions about why he wants to move on.
