He was offered multi year deal with Baltimore and an offer by Cleveland. He thought is was worth more than he is. The Saints deal fell in his lap due to their injuries. This is what happens when you sit out all year and think you can come back and be a superstar without putting in the work everyone else did. It's one of my biggest pet peeves and injury seems to happen more often than not, for whatever reason you choose to believe in.
I don't blame these guys for sitting out. In his case and Bell's they were not signed, they had no obligation.
I don't enjoy defending Dez, because I think he's generally a lousy receiver and has been for a few years but if a player doesn't want to play for certain and isn't signed to a contract, then more power to them.
IMO the Saints screwed up by signing him in the first place and now his injury will spare them his childish antics and dropped passes in key situations.
