You missed my point:  Teams will tolerate mavericks, but only as long as they win.  How many of those non-winning QB's were mavericks making the same money as Kaep was making?  If Kaep ranked in the top 8 instead of the bottom 8, things would be different.  Look at Ray Rice, Adrian Petersen, etc.  The NFL will tolerate quite a bit of distraction if the player  (even a black player) is of premier quality.
