Are we the worst FA team in the NFL?

Red Dawg · 03-03-2005, 08:42 AM

It sure seems like it. Other teams have visitors or make phone calls and offer up contracts and get the players they want. We have visitors and that's all they do is visit. We can sign all of them. Why the hell we don't hear more is beyond me. The cap will allow us these three players The Skins and Raiders are proof of it.

I will only feel good about our chances to win the division if we get 3 good FA's. Not middle ground, not cheap and unproven, GOOD FA's.

You need to take some medication to relax a little.

3 of the top FAs are in TOWN. It's day 2 of free agency.

I suggest holding your breath until Carl signs someone.

Red Dawg · 03-03-2005, 08:48 AM

I've got the feeling that Carl is not going to get any of them or maybe just one and that would piss me off.

Well, we all know Carl. He doesn't care about the fans. You should write a letter.

Concise, subtle, dry and right on target.

We are obviously not the worst FA team in football. In the past, teams like AZ and Cincy couldn't even get the players to come to town except as a last resort. Detroit was that way until they got Mooch as their coach. Some teams don't even get into the FA market because of their finances.

Perplexing, isn't it?

No. How many other teams can you name w/ starting FA pro-bowl calibre RB AND QB?

Don't forget Center, Left Tackle, Left Guard, and Full Back too.

I didn't forget - I simply pointed out the fact that the two most important positions on offense, for the BEST OFFENSIVE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE, were both FA signings.

The failure of some to keep things in perspective is stunning.

Trent Green was a trade. He wasn't a free agent.
