    Who was the alternative that year in the debate, Wells versus ... ?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    No, not even close.
    I argued at the time that retaining Wells was more important than keeping Finley, because they had no one on the roster ready to step in for Wells. I mistakenly thought that Quarless would be ready to play in 2012, but if not they had lots of guys to catch the ball. A TE doesn't have to be one of them.

    But, I wasn't in favor of an offer even as much as Wells got from the Rams, because he was either injured or nursing what were borderline significant injuries for years. When they talked that kind of money, I said let him go.

    I admit to liking the Saturday signing. I thought he still had a year or two left. He didn't.

    I'm just teasing, you see. I was watching the NFL network where they do all those Top 10 lists. I was stunned when they did the Top 10 Packers of all time and Scott Wells was #7!
