IMO, the best leadership comes from those who lead by example. Do we have another example of that on our team? Sure vets can be headcases but I don't mind HOF headcases who work extremely hard and take incredible pride in their body/accomplishments. Trading Gonzo sets us back significantly on offense, IMO. He's not a god, but he would have made installation of the new offense a hell of a lot easier, and helped build a lot of confidence in Cassell.

Yes, Tony worked hard, but he was a selfish player and selfishness is never a good influence in a team atmosphere.

not sure but having guys who don't want to be here for camp sends a tone to others.

these new vets Haley has signed up sets a bar for rooks.
