You guys can say it's not true all you want. Bledsoe ended up in Dallas, Pennington ends up in Miami, Testaverde all of that...
If they can make a move for a guy they know they will, they strive for that super quick turn around.

There's a difference between bringing good players from former teams over and "prefer comfort and familiarity above all else". Parcells was very familiar with Bledsoe when he benched him for Romo. He brought Testaverde to New York even though he wasn't "comfortable and familiar" with him in that player/coach sense. Most coaches want to bring players from a former team over. It helps ease the transition for the new players and gives them a player who can show the new guys what's expected of them. That's not something exclusive to the Parcells tree.
