Bruce was more than loyal to the Rams. He took a hit on his deal two years ago to help the team when they were in need. He accepted the new deal in good faith with the assumption it would allow him to retire a Ram. The Rams reniged on that deal by refusing to honor the contract and trying to have him take another hit because they screwed themelves with the cap by making some bad decisions. Not only was it a very questionable move when you look at the shaky state of the receiving corps and the high level of play Ike was still maintaining, it was a bad public relations move and was asking too much from a player that had already made a sacrifice.
Like ramsbruce stated, Bruce went to the whiners because of Martz. If Martz had stayed in Detroit or gone somewhere else other than SF, that's where Ike would have gone.
