A team with a bad general manager

[woodbuck27]

I honestly think we should inquire. We won't of course, but this is the 2nd most talented receiver in the game.

Our WR corps does not need upgrading, and once Jennings gets his extension we won't have any money available to upgrade our WR's anyway. Figure Driver's gonna be here at least 2 more years (maybe longer, could be as many as 5) @ approx. 7 million per. Jennings will be very close to that salary as well. Marshall's gonna want a bigger paycheck too, and we won't be able to give it to him.

Besides, I really disagree that Marshall is the second most talented WR in the game. He might only be the second most talented WR on our roster should we sign him. Not to mention that Driver would be incredibly put off by it, likely seeing the move as the next step twoard his own release. It could get ugly. No need.

TT disagrees with you on many of your points because he went after Moss with basically the same WRs already in place (minus Jordy, but with a slightly younger Driver). So he doesn't see a problem with trying to upgrade our WR corps and he didn't seem to worry about Driver's feelings.

Ah, but perhaps he did. According to Randy Moss - I just looked this up the other day - Green Bay called to inquire about restructuring his contract if they acquired him, and what turned Moss off was that the team talked about "the wrong things," one of those being that the team wanted Moss to know that DD was and would continue to be the #1 receiver on the team...

Talent exempted 'of course'.

Should he have gotten an exemption for his attitude as well? Mr. "Ill play when I wanna play," Mr. "Nobody else cares about winning, why should I" had no business walking into OUR locker room under the assumption that he was going to be "the guy." I could give a rats ass about his talent - we have plenty of very talented guys not named Moss. What we don't have is an attitude like Moss.

Yes, I realize he's become a different player after going to New England. But he didn't become that player until he got there, so how was Ted supposed to know him as anything but a selfish fuck back in 2006? He was a turd, and I never wanted him here in the first place. I have good reason for feeling that way, but that's just me I guess.
