HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...john&id=2009514I'm not a big Clayton fan but I thought this was a particularly good observation...Where teams have tended to make the biggest mistakes are when they reach for positions other than tackle, defensive end, quarterback and cornerback. The biggest failures have been at safety. The Saints gave Tebucky Jones seven-years and $29.25 million after trading for him in 2003 and are expected to cut him before the weekend. Dexter Jackson got a five-year, $14 million contract from the Cardinals and didn't make it through two seasons in the desert. The Falcons cut Cory Hall after two seasons of a five-year, $12.25-million contract. Free agency is becoming a refined art. Fewer players of quality are allowed to hit the market because of the ever-increasing salary cap and each team's better ability to manage it. But good players do hit the market, and it's not a mistake to grab them. Franchises need to build around the draft, but the draft often doesn't supply a large number of players who can be impact starters during the first season. The lower a team drafts in a round, the tougher it is to acquire first-year players who can help immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalboomer7 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 All you got to do is get one look at that little squirell to realize he has no business talking about football. I do get entertained when him and Salsibury go at it on 4 downs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get entertained when him and Salsibury go at it on 4 downs though That "little squirrell" comes up with some prize acorns from time to time, and I too like their bantering back and forth on 4 downs! Really funny sometimes, but Salisbury can be a wee bit abusive at times. Wait...that was the funny part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
