    either way, the team offered less money to the guy that had the much better year and wasn't a cancer to his team

    that was the whole point, wasn't it?

    Going into the 2017 offseason I don't think you could find a single individual who valued Cook more highly then Bennett. Cook was faster but Bennett a much better blocker and more reliable overall. Ya, Bennett turned out to be a huge douche. Shit happens...and it's why TT/MM probably feel stronger about signing their own guys then guys off the market.
    Go PACK

    The curious decision in this case would be who decided to dump waiting on Cook and sign Bennett? His reputation was public.

    Someone who might have agitated for the move who really wanted some TE blocking?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    The other guy declined to sign the deal. It takes two.

    And while you wait, Bennett is going to other teams.

    For someone who has been clamoring to get back into FA, you have to accept that the constrained market, access and team leverage works against you sometimes. You can't be patient if you want most of the top guys.
