JDSmith said:So if we were the only team interested you believe it would have taken longer to sign him? It only takes one team to get a guy off the market, and by most accounts the only team interested in Bledsoe was us. Why would we wait, regardless of whether or not their was other interest? Parcells saw a guy he coached, who he felt could still play, and he signed him - I'm surprised it actually took a week.
I believe that this was a case where we were Drew's first choice and he was our first choice. If there was no other interest, Drew doesn't get a deal averaging over 4 million a year, we wait it out and get him on the cheap.
You go ahead and you believe what bonehead announcers have to say -- they are trying to spin this as a better story than it is -- they are trying to make this a huge comeback story. It isn't - Drew had a crap OL and constant player turnover in Buffalo, which led to mediocre, but not bad, perfomance.
