If you'd like. With the exception of Henry, and possibly Peek, they should all be bargain-basement priced. I've always liked Toefield, I'd like to see what he could do with more than 1-4 carries a game.
I'd also have no problem signing the sinking battleship Brown and running him into decommission for a season. The guy's been beaten like Gerry Cooney the last couple of years, but he probably has a season's worth of short-yardage carries left in him.
The reoccurring theme throughout this thread is bargain-basement
and cheap. More often than not, you only get what you pay for.
If you only want to spend a little money, you get a stop gap player.
If you want someone who will be a core player on your team for
years to come, you have to pony up some money.
ALL 8 POINTS WOULD GIVE THE PLAYER AN "A"
One of the steadfast principles of the Belichik reign has, almost without exception, been the avoidance of signing "superstars". While acknowledging the high level of play that can accompany such players, the reality, seen as a bedrock of BB's philosophy, is that if (when) such players get injured and removed from the lineup, the player that replaces him, however good, however faithful and fruitful with 100% effort, cannot play at the same level that the departed "superstar" could, leading to a fall-off of productivity, sometimes catastrophic.
With a Belichik-coached team, invariably, what you see is what you get - all the time!
I agree with you - you get what you pay for. But this is the functional difference between Daniel Snyder and Robert Kraft.
Now that I've open my trap, we'll doubtless see the Pats embarrass me in ways I cannot yet fathom....
We can do some Draft Choices later.
