Quote:I can get behind a lot of what Mojo said.  


getting rid of D Smith.  Mistake we really could have used him those first two years with gus

getting rid of G Jones.  I get it, older player coming to the end of his career playing a position that is underutilized

getting rid of e. Monroe.  I get it, was on a contract year wanted to be paid more than he was worth we were going into a draft with a high pick and what seemed to be at the time in the perfect position to get a longterm fixture at the position.  Unfortunately that pick turned out to be a joke

Knighton.  We probably should have picked him up for about 3 mil a year for 4 years with bonuses bringing that number up to 5 a year if incentives met.  The guy has been a serviceable player everywhere he has been since he left.


 

 

Daryl Smith signed a bigger contract somewhere else, the decision was that he didn't fit the Ice Cream Zone well enough for that kind of money. This team didn't get rid of him, he chose to leave.

 

Greg Jones was done and the team wasn't running a scheme that fit his deteriorating talents.

 

Getting anything for Monroe was a good deal because he wasn't a zone blocking tackle and Gus/Dead Fish were insistent on the scheme.

 

Knighton wasn't particularly good, had weight control problems and wanted to play somewhere else.

 

That's the commentary on every free agent or potential free agent, you just can't force guys to sign here.
