And, that you have to make sure and go through a thorough vetting process on said player to make sure that they aren't going to bring that negative energy to a young locker-room.
So, while it is certainly something they should look into and could be useful it is something they have never done and needs to be handled correctly. You land a guy with drama and it can break it all down.
Sure, but all we have done the last two years is in fact break from conventional norms. One could say we have never done it because we were never just one piece away from a SB, we are now. If the right OL or CB was looking for change of scenery I’d be in. Xavier Howard for instance was having issues down in Miami over his contract and they kind of worked things out but with Flores gone I wonder if he may be available. Most these guys wouldn’t cost a 1st unless they are really young, just pointing out that it’s now in play.
