Same with Glenn. He was injured the past 2 seasons and the Bills had a younger, cheaper replacement and dumped his salary on us.
O'Neal made the Pro Bowl the year prior with Denver. How was he a bust?
Odom and Thornton were hot commodities coming off of career years when they signed here. James was in his prime and went to the Pro Bowl in his first year with the Bengals. TO was a year removed from a 1st team All Pro season. Adams was a year removed from the Pro Bowl. Bryant was a year removed from a 1200 yard season.
It's easy to bag on these pickups now, because many didn't work out, but those guys were perceived to be a A and B tier FA's.
