If everyone really wants to know what happened, I'll tell you.
He has terrible people surrounding him. I've never heard of many players having parents get involved with negotiating playing time, but his did. His fiancee was a loudmouth who was in Winnipeg with him and she would make herself visible at practices to vocalize her displeasure with the way our management treated him to anyone who would listen. His agent is a real piece of work too, didn't even understand the 1+1 option deal when they signed it and then tried to force his way out. On top of everything else, his extended family even started posting complaints on the fan forum about how he was mistreated.
The players didn't like him. I spoke to a couple of the younger guys on the team over the weekend and they were basically all saying the same thing. Superiority complex, thinks he should be in the NFL and in general, was just basically a doucher. It's really a shame, because the one thing that I thought about TJ when he came to Winnipeg was that he had a great attitude and he seemed humble.
He thinks he's going to the NFL ... good luck to him.
