Fwiw Cato, there are others (e.g. Stephen A. Smith) who've used that same 'martyr' comment (esp. after that scrubbed workout down in Ga.).

c'mon. that 'workout' the nfl invited him to was a complete setup to save face, and they were not earnestly inviting kaep back into the league.
this was a guy who got the nfl to settle in a lawsuit where he alleged they were blacklisting him, and their response several months later was to......invite him to a secret/private workout on a horrible day during the NFL workweek with no external parties or video/pictographic evidence of the event. in other words, a situation where the NFL could again completely control the narrative
that was not an earnest workout invite. and before anybody chimes in about the baltimore situation, i think he and his team fcked up the baltimore situation for sure, that's on him. but specifically with regards to that workout invite from the NFL, it was complete BS
