There was an interview with him right after all this started where he flat out believes he is still a #1 wideout and wants to be paid as such. O'Brien told him he is no longer a #1 and wanted him to take a pay cut.
In his mind he thinks he can get that money.
So the team wants him to take a paycut and you say that's Andre's fault? He didn't give himself that contract. Either pay him or release him.
