2. Pat expressed a clear interest in returning and it's quite possible that he didn't even WANT to talk with other teams.

3. Pat Sims (also a 3rd round pick) is a better player than Brandon Thompson. I really think you're underestimating Sims. He'd be on a roster if he weren't here. I have very little doubt about that. PFF graded him as the 2nd best defensive player on the Raiders when he was starting for them.

Right.....not to mention the numbers don't lie.....we're flat better against the run when he's in there.  We discussed that at length on the mothership.....
