2 lessons to future free agents: from TN Volunteers

There are two lessons that I hope LOTS of future free agents learn from two former VOLS:

1) Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay parting ways in a very mature and amicable situation, granted one of the most emotional press conferences I've ever seen. The interpretation of what we just saw was- hey look, this is a business and we both know why this is happening and what the circumstances are. (RECOGNITION OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS)

2) Arian Foster's appreciation of his fortune and more importantly, giving thanks to where he came from and how he got there.

2 HUGE lessons for future free agents. Have some honor and recognize your situation. Whether you're an undrafted free agent or you're a number one pick...you didn't do it alone!!!

This would be so fitting. A UT player teaches the mile high messiah how to actually be good at his job.

Miami is a horrible choice... Playing NE and NYJ twice every year. Not much thought put into that choice.

Poor choice on both ends at the moment

...also if he was coming "home," wouldn't that be going to play for the Saints?
