Or are you claiming that none of these teams ever watched any of those players on film before signing them? How could they be wrong "after one year" when they had watched film on these guys for multiple years before signing them?
The players were just worse when they played for other coaches.
I wrote bad scouting, not no scouting. Of course I don't mean the Eagles, Cowboys, and Bucs didn't watch those players. But, it says a lot about you and your argument that you would make the suggestion.
Why do you tell others that many free agents fail to live up to their new contracts, yet you don't seem to understand many free agents fail to live up to their new contracts?
Andrews and Livings were awful with the Bengals and continued to be so after they left. Collins was an adequate backup with the Bengals. As Denny Green would say, they are who we thought they were.
Each of them were only coached by the new team for one season. Then their new team released or traded them. Meaning the new team quickly realized the players weren't as good as scouted and by getting rid of them so quickly despite the cap ramifications admitted they were wrong and made a mistake. Instead of keeping them until their contract expired as is the norm with the Bengals.
