- Player has a serious injury and his performance declines? Cut him.
- Player has a down year? Cut him, trade him.
- Player is almost 30, still performing well, still on same contract? Trade him for more picks.

Look at what the Patriots did to Richard Seymour, what the Colts are doing to Peyton Manning, etc. How can you expect players to show "loyalty" when the moment the organization thinks it can save money or grab a few draft picks, they'll cut or trade you.

Obviously there are exceptions, but the whole concept of loyalty is nonsense in the NFL today, and business in general.
