Plenty of videos breaking down his horrible play the last 2 years. Ignore the name recognition and he is nothing special.

Not playing to his full potential to save his body for free agency... That I do hold against him.
Also, fact is Washington traded a 4th for him, then benched him before the season was over, and then chose not to offer him even 3 million dollars to return, after they had just traded a 4th to get him!
All I've heared is that Washington was in talks with him, as well. How do you know they didn't offer him $ 3 million? Maybe they offered him $ 15 million over 3 years, but he liked his odds of getting a way bigger deal than that after a good season with the Bears. Maybe he didn't like the direction the organization was going. Maybe the contract was too insentive-laden.
Does that not tell you something about his play? Come on man...
I don't think he's an amazing player and I certainly don't see him reaching all-pro status during his career, but the hate he's getting here is just ridiculous.
