The Jerricho Cotchery Saga...getting more and more confusing...

For the past 8 seasons Jerricho Cotchery has been a steadfast presence for the New York Jets. Always quiet, always humble, always working his butt off. He exemplified what it meant to be a Jet. Time and time again he put the team before himself, with no better example than when he had made one of  the gutsiest plays I have ever seen, last year. I dont need to even go into that play because ill assume everyone here knows what i mean. He did go through a pretty rough year last year, when he went through a case of the dropsies and he was pushed to the 3rd wr position with the addition of Santonio Holmes. During this postseason, he reportedly asked for a trade or release and after not finding a suitor the Jets released him as per his request. Reports claim that Cotchery was unhappy with being reallocated to the 3rd wr position and with the signing of Plaxico Burress to a contract worth almost 2 million dollars more, he decided enough was enough. Cotchery signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers a week later. But these reports are starting to make no sense anymore. If Cotchery's reason for leaving the Jets was being named the 3rd wr, then why did he sign with a team where he as of now is the 3rd wr and possibly soon can be moved back to the 4th or 5th wr with the emergence of Antonio Brown and others. It wasn't money either because Rich Cimini reported today that he signed for the veterans minimum which  is $810,000. Than what was it?? Someone is not saying something but for all us Jerricho Cotchery fans, who hated to see him go, we want to know what happened. Our team is not as good today as it was before he was released. Let us diehards in on it. We deserve to know.
