Not all of the news apparently was true.
High-flying receiver, what happened to you?
A young pass catcher in the prime of his game,
gets cut from the team, and leaves in shame.
We only heard rumors about what you did off the field.
I wonder what else going around you will be revealed.
What other articles about you will the media yield?
The big alibi is that you are paid too much money.
I don’t know the whole story. It’s a mystery to me.
Why would the team cut you with your ability?
From a news story found on NFL.com
