Didn't see this coming. He actually turned into a decent fantasy option later in the season for me.

15 million over 6 seasons and is fairly unproductive outside of the goal line. With the influx of veteran backs he was probably only looking at a vet minimum deal anyway. Kinda far off when you made 2.5 million last year

See I would agree but he was the one who said this:

"Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel each other"

Make a lot of money, and get out while young and still relatively healthy. Sounds great. I have a friend who is trying to do the same.

Don't forget:
His first tweet on the subject read, "What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side ... "

Then he retweeted a comment that read: "I'm not convinced he was even behind the attacks we have really seen no evidence to prove it other than the gov telling us"

Then Mendenhall tweeted: "We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style." Mendenhall later deleted this tweet.

His original tweet thread continued with, "I believe in God. I believe we're ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge."

He also tweeted, "For those of you who said you want to see Bin Laden burn in hell ... I ask how would God feel about your heart?"

So more power to him if he was smart and got out while healthy, with cash. I just don't know if a lot of these guys are able to do that, with the lifestyle their teammates are living.

Nah, he got out because no one was going to offer him more than the vet minimum more than likely

He apparently wants to "travel the world and write!"

Which given his previous history, im sure will be great pieces of literature
