Clowney = Cory Rodgers

It's also grounded in his salary cap management, which often left him with little or no money to keep valuable players. Much of Shermy's money went to overpriced contracts.

Right. High risk, middle reward type players was what Sherman liked to invest in. His whole risk/reward scale was broken. Well, not broken, but he'd never been an NFL GM or dealt with managing a cap, a roster or a draft. His scale was never broken, he just never had one.

And say what you want about tightwad Ted and his lack of free agent acquisitions this summer, but there is no question that he has preserved a tremendous amount of cap flexibility on a go forward basis. There's a lot of different ways he can play the hand he's dealt himself. He has options that many teams don't have.

TT is on record saying that he wanted to win this season.

Having some $13 million of CAP space given the needs we have at RB and TE don't justfy his inability to not provide for our needs at these positions this season SC.

Winning in 2007 sends a message around the league that we are a team on the rise and that is what it takes to interest solid FA's in moving to our team.

His plan is to develop fr. within, but a good GM has to play all the options to have a solid hand.
