Well when that person has been available and played good consistent footy to a high level up until mid last year then and then had their whole pre season interrupted by multiple surgeries then you give them another chance.If we're getting 2nd round change and significant salary, I actually think it's palatable if and only if Chad is still on next year. But we'd want to be sure about that.
Have you even known someone that tells you they're going to do the right thing over and over but never does? At some point you cut that person loose but for all you know the next time was the time they made the change. Always that risk.
