Many are miffed that we didn't get Sam Adams for as much or more money than it would have cost us to get Thornton, a much quicker DT who's gots some pass rushing skills too and who would have been solid here for at least 6 seasons if we'd wanted for a very reasonable contract.
Now everyone's miffed that we didn't sign a guy w/ a fraction of the upside, huge downside, when we didn't even talk to Thornton!
I just don't get it. I was upset about not getting Thornton, the best all-around DT available in FAcy. I was told to be patient! Now everyone is all upset that we didn't sign an overpriced DT who has serious injury/health issues and one who is likely to follow in the footsteps of Washington and who's play may very well erode extremely quickly!
You guys can put down TD for this "non-sign" all you want, but I'll support him on this hook, line, and sinker! We just got out of cap hell. Overpaying a guy like Adams who's play took a significant step downward last season is not a wise move. I'd rather see us expend the cap money on signing some of the players who's contracts are up soon.
We'll find a DT in June 1st cuts or the draft! Thornton was the guy, but since we didn't even bring him in for an interview, I'll blame TD for that, not for not signing Adams to the incentive laden contract that he's gonna have to accept if he wants what he's asking. He'll get it, but only when/after he puts up the numbers that he wants the cash for!
Nice move TD!!!
