Picking up a starting playoff left tackle off another's team practice squad (Donald Penn), a Super Bowl middle linebacker from Canada (Shelton Quarles) and signing a Pro Bowl quality receiver nobody else wanted off the street (Antonio Bryant) is as good a sign of work from a pro personnel director as possible.
The first stage of big money free agency is driven by owners, GMs, and head coaches. Finding diamonds in the rough for short money is the job of a pro personnel director and no one has done better than Dominik.
