You wanna win now? Get as many POTENTIAL difference makers as you can and let'm eat.

Pretty much how I feel X. If nothing else you get him for cheap and if he's a problem, you release him. But if he plays well, it's all gravy.

Exactly what I stated as well. I live in the DC area and was obviously privy to all the drama he went through here. Was he a pouting, spoiled and lazy baby? Yes.....absolutely. However, I don't think the issue was ever whether or not he could or wanted to contribute. He is a 4-3 guy and they brought him in and tried to convert him to 3-4 NT. I still SMH when I think of how badly the Skins handled that whole debacle. Lets pay this dude (that we already know has character issues) 120 mil and then completely misuse and alienate him. What could go wrong?? WOW.......
Sure, and that's the flip-side of the debate. It could go either way. I don't know how impactful he could be in the locker room as a negative influence though. There are too many high-motor, high character and team-oriented guys to let one jackwagon ruin the whole bunch. *IF* he gets signed, and *IF* he turns out to be the same lazy bastidge that got him axed from those other teams, then he'll get axed here too. There's just no way Chris Long, Steven Jackson, James Laurinaitis, and Quintin Mikell let him coast through on what's left of his laurels. I'm sure they'd beat him with a collection of soaps wrapped in assorted cotton towels at the first sign of that.Memento said:Faceplant said:bwdenverram said:X said:I'm all over it. no team, let me reiterate no team, is going to sign him to a huge front loaded contract at this point.

He barely contributed when he was with the Patriots or Buccaneers (both of whom use some version of the 4-3; New England has a hybrid scheme in place, while Tampa Bay, as we all know, utilizes a Cover-2 system). He couldn't get starts with the Buccaneers when both McCoy and Price went down with injuries. Hell, he could barely get on the field, and this was on a team that was starting depth guys like Roy Miller and Frank Okam.
He's a lazy team cancer with serious character issues. I'd much rather count on younger blood (Langford, Brockers, Laws, and Cudjo) than sign a veteran with major character risks. It's one thing to take chances on young players that have character problems when you have the locker room to support them. It's another thing to sign vets who have those problems.
Just my opinion.

lol. And you KNOW that's what I was envisioning when I wrote that too, right? Great scene. As long as Albert doesn't flip out on the field like Private Pyle did in that movie, we'll be ahhhight.Memento said:X said:Sure, and that's the flip-side of the debate. It could go either way.
