Seth Payne was a good pick up for them.  That seems like a good deal.

As i recall, the arrangement was for Walker AND Payne to be exposed on the list if they agreed to take Boselli.

It got us out of cap hell, and Boselli wound up never playing a down for them, which is good.

But I wonder how it would have turned out had they not taken the deal.

Boselli wouldn't have played for us, either.  Either we would have kept Walker and Payne, or cut them both.  I don't know what the cap ramifications would have been, but as I recall the Ketchman rants during the time, we may not have been able to field a complete team.  Would we have drafted Henderson that year?  Would we have finished with the worst record?  Would we have taken Palmer instead of BL?

By the way, apologies for a duplicate post, but I made this post in another thread, but thought it would fit better in this one.

Here it is...

This poses an interesting question. Which team would win between the 1999 team and the 2017 team?

Position analysis...

QB-Brunell v. Bortles- Edge: 1999
RB-Taylor v. Fournette-Edge 1999
WR-Smith and McCardell vs. Lee and Westbrook Edge: 1999
TE-Brady v. Marcedes Edge: 1999
OL-Boselli, Searcy, Wade, Weigert, Coleman vs. Cam, Parnell, Cann, Linder and Omameh-Edge:

DL-Brackens, Payne, Walker, Wynn vs. Ngakoue, Dareus, Jackson and Campbell-Edge 2017
LB-Hardy, Matrs, Paup vs. Smith, Poz and Jack- Edge: 2017
DB-Bryant, Beasley, Darius, Lake vs. Ramsey, Bouye, Gipson and Church Edge: 2017
K-Hollis v. Lambo-a tough one-Edge:2017
P-Barker v. Nortman-Edge: 2017

HC -TC v. marrone-Edge TC

I think the 1999 team would win, but it would be a close one.

The matchups I'd like to see the most in that game would be Smith and McCardell vs. Ramsey and Bouye and Searcy vs. Campbell
