Such a style simply didn't suit Hasty's talents. You can STILL find misused players in FA. Look at Kawicka Mitchell.

And Hasty wasn't what was considered a "conerstone" free agent.

As it turned out he, and almost every other player you named, played at a far higher level than anyone anticipated.

The only player that one would call a "cornerstone" free agent at the time of his signing was Marcus Allen.
