A player moving around the league to a new organization and then facing a former team isn't new in the NFL.
So, it isn't uncommon should a player experience an assortment of emotions when those opportunities occur.
New Orleans Saints linebacker Gerald Hodges, however, prefers to treat Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills as a business trip.
"There are no mixed emotions or anything and I'm not upset over anything that happened with them releasing me," Hodges said. "I'm not upset at all."
Nevertheless, it would be difficult to fault Hodges if he felt anything.
