Clearly the pay check difference is HUGE, whatever it actually is. An exponential factor for sure.
I don't think most people are characterizing McVay as "evil" per say, just as incompetent in some ways, perhaps in more ways than most will acknowledge

I suppose so if accurate.
Big difference in ACTIVE ROSTER CHECKS for a VET vs. PS checks no? No sure how much but the PS players used to earn $125-200K/yr. and the vet minimum for an active roster spot well north $500K. Something like that or much more now. Check size difference factor of 3-5X+

Well, since Tampa brought up Wolford to the active roster, that ends that speculation.
If Wolford would have remained on their PS and dissed McVay then that would have been another story.Quote

What if he was told Stafford is likely only out this week and back after the bye? Can't blame the guy for not taking a one game gig across the country and then not knowing if/where he'll have a roster spot after that.
That wouldn't fit the narrative that Wolford didn't want to play for the evil McVay.
From the report I posted and others online, the Wolf said no BEFORE Tampa offered to elevate him the AR.
If all those reports were accurate, the "diss" was/is real.
As I said, I am not on that "evil McVay" train but I do believe the Wolf wanted no part of coming back to LA...
