the fat


4) Trim The Fat – As beloved as Al Davis remains his practice of keeping players on scholarship has held the franchise back in recent years. The time has come to stop fattening wallets and instead increasing hunger. This is the NFL, the most brutal of all sports. When a player feels as if their job is guaranteed no matter what they tend to relax. McKenzie needs to send a shocking message to make it loud and clear that a new sheriff is in town. Sending a few high-paid yet underperforming players back to the bread line or shipping them off for draft picks will help to accomplish the previously mentioned task of setting the tone. It will also improve the team through addition by subtraction.

It is true this expression is a metaphorical expression. Now, is there a conceptual metaphor behind it,  and if so, what is it?
