Speculation yes but Schefter is usually a pretty good resource.
This is a behind the scenes report.
Think about how much sense it makes.
Why pay someone that isn't going to produce?

I hope the Fins do release the whining bastad. I never liked him anyway, he was soooo happy he went to Miami thinking he was going far, now look at him.

Doesn't really matter though, it wasn't our choice whether we should have kept him or not, he wanted out to begin with. It still kind of makes you wonder why some people never got that through their head.

Still nobody could believe we traded Moss and said we got screwed and what has Moss done?
Nothing.
They said we were dumb to trade off Culpepper for nothing and what has he done ?
Nothing.

Maybe our fornt office isn't so dumb.

Well for Moss, I really believe his lack of production has been the team he is on to be honest, but even then, blazing speed never lasts to long, he had that speed but he doesn't have the explosiveness anymore he is a lot slower than he was around 2003.

But yeah exactly though, we traded a QB after a horrid start 6TD's 12 INT's and nearly a career ending Knee Injury and we got a 2nd round pick for him. Not to mention the fact he holds the ball to long and he can't read a defense.

Too many critics of player transactions are unaware of private details and issues, and they often base their opinions on past performance rather than future potential.

Some moves were good; CTaylor, Hutch, Richardson, Leber, Longwell... A few were bad or iffy at best; Hicks, McMullen for Baskett, and Whitaker.
I'll give management the benefit of the doubt on their player moves, until a year or two has passed, since I don't have insider info on player skills and personal conduct issues.
And, I'll trust they can find young players who have more 'potential' than their 'past performance' indicates, as a result of the selections of CTaylor and Ben Leber.

i wouldnt go that far.
the guys we moved haven't produced but they had value and the 2 guys we took for them were troy williamson and ryan cook.
not exactly 2 guys that have made you forget what dante and moss did.
we may have dumped guys who have been unproductive but we didnt exactly make the best of what we got for those guys.
at least it hasn't shown yet.
