Read Brody's artcile, he mentioned that the other players weren't thrilled that Shelvin opted out and might not welcome him back with open arms.

Brody also said that a section of the team during the team vote was hesitant about letting Farrell back too.

Shelvin I can completely understand the team having a problem with. If I were on the team I would have a problem with Shelvin returning too after he has already proven to not be a great teammate by letting his physical shape get out of control and then bails on the team less than 4 weeks before the season starts.

Farrell though, unless more is there than what we know, I wouldn't have that big of an issue with as a teammate. I mean his reasons seemed more than understandable considering the current climate. And I get being a bit disgruntled over the thought that you've been there grinding in the summer heat the whole time while he sat on the couch; but you should still be understanding in this situation. In my opinion anyway.

Unless he's a cancer, which I have never heard anyone say about Shelvin, you don't keep him from returning IF he's committed to busting it hard and being ready for at least mid-season games. We need the experience and depth, and I assume Coach O will be pushing him hard to make up for lost time/practice to ensure that the other players don't feel slighted - maybe benched for the first 2-3 games??

Incredible natural talent, but O’s had to cattle-prod him from day one. He’s not self-motivated to reach his potential...and other players busting butt see it too.
Moffitt/O will say as much to NFL scouts, coaches, GM’s, etc. when they call...
