I agree with that. In this case at least Hankins was basically signed to a 1 year contract with 2 team options. I suspect Ballard considered it a one year deal.

1) Freeney would've worked in a 3-4, Justin Houston does.

2) I don't understand why they released Hankins and kept Woods. I'd think Hankins would be the better 4-3 NT.

Then trade him for a 5th at worst

Yes, yes he would've. That is the point I'm making.

This was the beginning of me hating fucking Pagano. Freeney is a HOF and Pagano was the POS that let him go way too damn early.

Fuck Suh. He wouldn't make any difference on this team right now anyway. No way I pay that MF what he thinks he is worth.

A 4 time first team All Pro on the DL wouldn't make a difference to a bad defense? That's just a bad argument. As far as spending the money, they HAVE to spend some. They're at like 60% of cap right now.

I have a feeling your mind would change if he was on the colts

Or you trade the talent for an asset, but I guess they were worried about the guarantee kicking in.

Which we're not hurting money-wise, so it's confusing.
