The whole situation reminds me of Ty Law situation a few years back. We didn't get him when we REALLY wanted him, but we still got surtain. Then the next year we got Law after his great season with the Jets. Knowing us, we won't get Pioli this year, and the Browns will sign him to a 1 year contract, he'll have 10 ints, make the pro bowl, then we sign him and he lays an egg.
