    Miami re-signed him for $32M after his rookie contract. So they thought it was a successful trade.

    Houston (stupidly) traded for him as part of the Tunsil deal even though he was on an expensive contracy, so they must have thought he had value at the time. Miami let him go because they were getting rid of all their expensive contracts in their tank/rebuild plan.

    Houston cut him because they were paying him too much, because they have Fuller, Cooks and Cobb ahead of him and he's not in their future plans. You know, the normal reasons teams cut veterans.

    There's no evidence in any of this that he's 'a locker room cancer' or that teams consistently want to get rid of him. The only reason you're trying to imply he's a troublemaker is because of the special song, as BHC calls it.
    You’re leaving some stuff out. Stills publicly calls out Miami owner Ross for donating to Trump campaign.

    Two weeks later he’s traded to Houston with Tunsil.

    Once traded to Texans, Stills continues to call out Ross for doing something as horrible as making a charitable donation.

    If you’re going to tell the story, tell the story. You’re just trying to paint Stills as Mr. Good Guy. Who publicly goes after the person who pays his salary like that?

    I didn't say he was a good guy, just that he doesn't seem to be 'a locker room cancer' or a bad team mate. Nothing you've posted says he is either.

    Without trying to get too political, NFL owners profit from the players who sacrifice their bodies. They're not giving the players anything.

    In the main, NFL owners are profit takers more than value adders and they're entitled to no more and no less respect than the cleaners or the kitchen porters.

    I was always taught don’t s&$# where you eat, but I guess that’s old fashioned thinking now. I’m going to show respect to whoever signs my paycheck, and if I have a problem I’ll handle it in private like a man.

    He's a political bigot who has attacked his employeer, fans, teammates and pretty much everyone who doesn't fall inline with his extreme viewpoints.

    So no I don't want his divisiveness on this team and I don't believe it is what we need to get back on track. Nor most importantly I don't believe the distraction is worth what he brings to the table from a football standpoint.

    Just say no.

    Why is it only views from one side of the political spectrum that have the power to divide and distract players; essentially to put them off their game?

    And, since Stills is coming from the same general viewpoint as the statement put out by the Ravens players and organisation, who exactly would be divided or distracted by him?

    Was Stills the one arrested for protesting on someone’s property?

    Honest to god question that anyone could provide an answer....

    Why in gods name would any WR, in their right mind, looking to prop up their value for a next contract want to sign here?
