@SunsetBengals - my bad!
@Samhain - So it was typical Marvin lip service, really. No change in how they spend or view the outside FA process whatsoever.
Well, I think Marvin knows they need to be better on pro personnel. Like if you're going to spend $5 million on a linebacker, maybe it shouldn't be Karlos Dansby or Kevin Minter.
@TheLeonardLeap - on your Marvin Jones breakdown
Really interesting. And 100% true. They're still chasing that guy. I think TBoyd has adequately replaced Sanu, skill wise. (Now, is he mentally the same player? No. But talent wise and filling that slot role, yes). The one caveat to that is they matched the money to Jones - he decided he didn't want to be in Green's shadow. I'll be honest. I don't know if a certain amount of money would have made him come back. And at that point, if there was a "magic number" to do that, it would have been folly to pay Marvin Jones that kind of cash. I wasn't here for the Joseph thing, but didn't they extend Leon Hall after that as well?
