"So what I'm saying is that I'm ready to play ball, and if it's not here in my next two years that I'm going to be able to play here, then I'm telling guys around the league I'm ready to play football. That's basically what I'm saying."

It’s just a working relationship. We’re friends. We’re co-workers. We may not go and party together. But I don’t mind him. He doesn’t mind me. We get along fine.”
