Did he have a franchise tag on him that:

Guaranteed him many millions of dollars more for one season than he was worth?
Hamstrung the cap until he was moved?

sd's needs look to be NT/RB

then to lesser degree OL

then CB

i suspect ILB as well

i'd say NT/RB head the list obviously

everyone seems to want best or mathews at rb, cody nt

That makes a lot more sense.

I thought the exact same thing! At that rate, I must be worth a 7th at least

heindsight's 20/20 when those 2 were signed they were all the rage on this message board and what a great move it was to do it early so we got galloway who would stretch the field

My first thought when hearing this trade was maybe Bobby Grier has taken too big a share of the blame for the bad personnel moves of the Carroll/Grier regime.

Not all 3-4 teams are the same. Just because a team is a 3-4 team doesn't mean they are targetting the same type of players as the Pats.

so are you saying none of the LB's for the chargers would work for the pats?????

the difference has to do with the DL and more so the NT.......it means some different things for the LB's, but ability-wise, they are pretty interchangeable

and I would have taken olshansky in a heartbeat for what the cowboys paid for him.........he would have been a perfect replacement for seymour and a cost effective one, too
