Yeah, thats kind of where I am with this, too. So many times, people cut their goals short for one reason or another. He had a chance to do something that meant alot to him, so why not take it. He doesnt owe anything to the Bills or the fans.
They made the choice to pay him alot to play football, and it hasnt worked out. They will probably make the choice to cut him this offseason (at least they probably should).
Knowing what I know of Goodwin, it probably wont stop him from leading the life he wants anyway. He and his family are really into the whole track scene, so him coaching someday seems about right.
