So if we traded for TO tommorrow, it would fall under the category of "standing pat"?
Or were we supposed to make John Tait the highest paid left tackle in the game, while playing him on the right side?
We went out ond filled our need for a right tackle via trade, but that trade meant signing a player to a new contract, just like is he was a free agent.
It goes back to what I've said before about '04. It's not that the team "didn't sign anyone". It's that the team didn't sign the guys
you wanted.
