Bulldog
The Legend
Dunbar still won’t shut up and move on despite the fact he is now where he said he wanted to be.
Darby is not the best CB in the NFL but played well for the Bills and Eagles and was a playmaker in 2017 when Philly won the SB.
Dunbar to me is really full of himself after reading that PFF recap on his 2019 season.
He is not Stephon Gilmore or Jalen Ramsey and guys off 3-13 teams usually don’t juice themselves this much.
But it was inevitable that on a poor team with poor coaching and a lackluster team president that several players were never going to be reconciled to a new regime that ran itself more like other NFL teams.
Trent Williams and Dunbar thought the way to get what they want was to threaten the organization. The weakness and dysfunction of the previous rregime lead them to believe that strategy would be successful.
Players don’t pull this crap in NE or KC or other places like GB or PITT.
And it was inevitable there would be players like Chris Thompson, Jordan Reed and Dunbar himself that actually liked Gruden and playing here in a laissez faire environment that suited them, ie their cumulative injuries were never an issue for the team and their retention over time.
On a contending team at his level Dunbar would have kept his public mouth shut and handled this internally and he would have been more patient to get a deal done.
He also would have been more grateful for the opportunity to transition from WR to CB here and find his niche in the NFL.
But bad organizations don’t get love letters from players.
Notice that Seattle has not yet negotiated an extension with Dunbar. Things will be done on Seattle time.
