It’s impossible for any team to ‘do right’ by every player on their roster, in the individual’s eyes. At least it’s impossible to do so while remaining as competitive as possible. I’m sure players like Mason Rudolph and Kevin Dotson have some thoughts on how the Pittsburgh Steelers have managed the roster in the past 14 months, for example, but ultimately the team was simply looking to improve its product on the field.
Former Baltimore Ravens safety Chuck Clark was in that same boat. The writing was on the wall the second they used their 2022 first-round draft pick on Kyle Hamilton.
