Not really. Joseph wound up being a great deal, while the Leon Hall deal burned us severely. Since we made that decision:
Joseph
9 missed games (8 seasons)
2 Pro Bowls
1 team (Texans)
14 INT's
105 passes defensed
Hall
40 missed games (8 seasons)
0 Pro Bowls
4 teams (Bengals, Giants, 49ers, Raiders, currently a free agent again)
9 INT's
47 passes defensed
-------------
Not that Joseph is making $10 million anymore...but if you just look at his production under the contract he signed in 2011, he made 2 Pro Bowls, has 12 INT's, 74 passes defensed. He earned the contract.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
