Re: Mind Boggling Stat
How NEEDED was the turnover. Its one thing to turn over a good team because they walk, its another to turn over a good team, stay good and end up in the same stratosphere when that team aged and would have fallen apart if you didnt turn it over.
I think thats the other side of the equation that frankly becomes too complicated for this setting.So who was on that team that we'd want back, given who he is today, at, say, a $2 million salary/cap hit or above?
(I edited out "if money were no object" because we might want lots of guys back for depth at vet minimum, including both safeties who were just cut.)
Seymour, definitely.
Ty Warren? Maybe not.
Gaffney or Stallworth? I haven't kept up with them.
Asante? Sure, drawbacks notwithstanding.
Cassell? Sure, but as a backup.
Lonie Paxton -- for the money he got, yes, but not for $2 million. (Um, is he actually still good?)
So we've lost 2 important franchise tag guys and one of the best backup QBs in recent league history. But otherwise the turnover you mention has been almost all voluntary on the part of the team.
