They traded for Terry Glenn.

It should have been trades and FAs. So just basically players we acquired that had the most or least impact.

If we're counting trades...


Worst: Joey Galloway (Roy Williams is not that far behind...)

Best: Tony Romo (he was undrafted, and signed as an FA)

 

[Hostile]

Best...Marc Columbo. 57 consecutive starts and team enforcer. Plus he has a band.

Worst...O. J. Santiago. 0 starts, 0 receptions. We traded a 4th for him.

that Wiley pickup gets to me b/c they brought him and Bert Berry in at the same time for workouts and they picked Wiley. I wanted them to pick up Berry.

Since then:
Wiley had 3 sacks in 39games w/ Dallas & Jax before retiring.

Berry has had 39 sacks in 71 games w/ Arizona.

Worst: Chutch.

Best: agree with Hos on Marc Colombo.

Yep.

If memory serves, I believe if we would have been willing to pay just a little bit more, we could have gotten Bert Berry.

We also moved Greg Ellis to the Right Side.

Wiley wrote an article on ESPN I think in 2007, where he said things were so out of control that Bill Parcells asked him if he was on drug.

He annoyed me with all of his "Dat Dude" and "I am the heartbeat" stuff.

I knew we were in trouble when he didn't get his first sack until like the 3rd game of the Preseason when the opposition had put guys in who would be flipping burger in a few weeks.

Glenn we got for a 6th rd pick, that pretty much has to be the best trade. We stole him.

Worst...Vandershank
