I can understand retaining a few of those players in '04, simply for continuity reasons, but we kept entirely too many of them, and paid them too much in the process.
Yeah, 2004 was the offseason we "stood pat". If we would have spent the money we tied up in Woods, Wesley, and Hicks on 3 free agents, 2004 would have been alot like 2003 and 2005. We paid those guys WAY too much.
