Youve been to a super bowl. Any of the younger players coming up to you for a little, whats it like . The only thing we have to worry about is staying together. Dont worry about the outside. Stay within. And everything will be just fine. Any hard feelings with the 49ers and the trade . No. Never did anything wrong to me. Treated me well throughout my tenure here as a niner.
