There will be a mutiny & a Gruden & Khalil Mack situation
Nobody would complain if the player Buckner was traded for was helping them win games. It's just when they're out of week with knee soreness, and under perform when they do play that animosity starts building.
That's not true, Joe Staley was there an said it directly. Those words came out of his mouth. That so many veterans were shocked an upset about someone who was the leader of the entire team along with him.
