Is this your first time in a "we should sign ____ " thread? Pretty much any free agent gets this type of treatment.
You can pretty much follow these guidelines:
- If free agent is young and good? Too expensive.
- Old and good? He's washed up.
- Young, good and cheap? He's either a cancer or he's injured too much.
- If he played at Ohio State? Expect bias for and against.
Again, I'm not advocating Laurinaitus, but I don't think he's nearly as bad or washed up as some claim. He's one month older than Maualuga and 3 years younger than AJ Hawk.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
