Before: Garrison Hearst, Ashley Ambrose (better than any CB we've signed since), Neil O'Donnell, Eric Bieniemy, Jimmy Spencer, Andre Collins, Keith Rucker, Derrick Fenner (800 yard season with 14 TDs in Seattle), Clyde Simmons, Myron Bell, Michael Bankston, Oliver Gibson, Richmond Webb, etc
After: Tory James, John Thornton, Reggie Kelly, Kevin Hardy, Kenny Watson, Kim Herring, Duane Clemons, Bryon Robinson, Carl Powell, Nate Webster, Jon Kitna (better than ODonnell? Eh), Antonio Chatman, Dhani Jones, Dexter Jackson, etc.
Where's the giant leap in quality?
As said before, Hearst was a waiver clam, not a FA.
Fenner came in '92, outside of the 7 year window from '93 to '99 and before the institution of modern FA in '93.
Webb actually signed in '01, so move him from the pre PBS group to the post PBS group.
Can't believe you left out Bobbie Williams and Lorenzo Neal in your post PBS list. Neal even made the Pro Bowl for us. You throw out Fenner but omit Gus Frerotte who was a former Pro Bowler when he signed here? Michael Westbrook had an 1100 yard season for the skins. Tony Williams?
I mean, you literally left off 2 of the best Post PBS FA's and included 3 guys in Pre PBS list that don't belong.
