Gotta ask.
Do you think AJ gave OB the respect a new head coach deserves.

This is where the "it's a business" thing comes in. Not reporting to OTAs has nothing to do with the new coach. That's how players speak to GMs. Even if Kubiak was still the coach, Andre wouldn't have done anything differently.
That's the game, that's the way the game is played.
When he got here, he did everything the coach asked him to do & yes, showed OB the respect he deserved.
This would be akin to you asking for a raise at the same time you happen to get a new boss. One thing has nothing to do with the other.
After busting your butt doing the best job you know how, when you are on the clock & not just expected to attend voluntary company picnics... if your new boss were to say, "Yeah, you did a good job, still... you're not what we're looking for. I don't have anyone to replace you, yet... but rest assured, I'll make sure you won't be able to earn the compensation the company already agreed to pay you for 2015."
