I understand the "pro-bowler" (though we should have received SOMETHING in return on a trade) - - but Sanders? Bad move. BAD MOVE. This isn't hindsight - -I was pissed off at the time. There is NOTHING outside of Chung that would have been better than Sanders on this team - - it was a tragic error on BB's part. And again, Sanders was cut with nothing in return. Money isn't an issue - - this team is several million dollars below the salary cap. This secondary needs, BEGS, for veteran experience and a hard hitting attitude. The cream always rises to the top - - just ask the Atlanta Falcons:
