Silverstein had this on JSO. He's getting better, this ain't a half bad article.
1. Leonard Davis, OT, Dallas Cowboys
There's a reason the Arizona Cardinals, despite having constant offensive line problems, let Davis go. But Jones overlooked the eight sacks Davis gave up last year and paid him $18.75 million in guaranteed money.
2. Derrick Dockery, G, Buffalo Bills
OK, Dockery isn't a stiff, but paying him the same money Minnesota paid Steve Hutchinson the year before (seven years, $49 million) . . . Pro Bowls at the time they signed: Hutchinson, 3; Dockery, 0.
3. Bobby Wade, WR, Minnesota Vikings
The Chicago Bears thought so much of Wade that they cut him after the 2004 season and Tennessee got two mediocre years out of him. The Titans were offering about $1 million, but Minnesota gave him $9 million over three years, including $4 million to sign.
4. Kevin Carter, DE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Most teams wanted him as a backup, but Tampa Bay managed to outbid itself by giving him $5 million this year, including $2 million in bonuses.
5. Dewayne White, DE, Detroit Lions
GM Matt Millen traded a perfectly good pass rusher (James Hall) to St. Louis for a fifth-round pick and then signed White to a five-year, $29 million deal that includes $12 million in bonuses. Never mind that White, mostly a backup four years in Tampa Bay, had two sacks in the eight games he started last year.
Millen needs to be fired before he hurts himself. Derrick Dockery got Hutch money? That could be bad, even Hutch couldn't earn Hutch money! What if TT did any of these deals?
