If they can’t get anything of value for him in a trade and he’s not just an absolute cancer in the locker room, they may as well keep him.
I don't feel as if the tap out was truly the breaking point. It was more like(paraphrasing) "is this guy ever going to get it"?

I feel like the real breaking point was the missed blitz pickup in the preseason game, and the it became "nope, I'm done"
