People need to stop blaming the organization and realize that if Bruce really wanted to stay he would have realized that the Rams were in fact being loyal and doing what they could to keep him. So no matter what people think, it's his fault. Not the Rams.

First let me say that it's only your opinion that it was Bruce's fault, it's not a fact, and yet you present your opinion as fact. :x
He still had 1 year left on his deal here, so yes the Rams did let him go. He wasn't going anywhere if the Rams fulfilled his contract. He already restructured his deal two years ago, and now the Rams ask him to do it
again, over 2 million dollars when we are extremely thin at WR as it is. In my opinion that is a horrible business decision. It also seems like a slap in the face to Bruce. Age is just a number, he can still play. I would have no problem cutting him if he couldn't play. The fact is he still can play, and we are extremely thin at WR. I don't think the money Bruce asked for was too much.
Another fact is the Front Office/Staff put us in cap trouble in the first place, not Bruce. The fact that we overpaid for Bennett (and others) sealed Bruce's fate. How is that Bruce's fault?
So you can think it was Bruce's fault and you're entitled to your opinion, but remember that's only your opinion, not a fact.
