Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Worst off-season thus far? The NFL?

The worst offseason move was by the Dolphins. I don't think acquiring Boston was the best move, but I don't think it was the worst one either. If Boston stays healthy and "feels like playing," he'll give Miami the receiving threat they've needed so bad for the past several years. Chris Chambers should really shine if Boston plays well.

However, I understand that the Dolphins restructured Boston's deal. Had they not done so, they could have cut or traded him without incurring any cap hit if he didn't work out - which is a very distinct possibility. VERY bad move.

Boston, T.O., Randy Moss et al make me REALLY appreciate Coles. He's such a great player, he doesn't showboat, he doesn't complain, he's not a locker room cancer, he plays well through injuries, and he doesn't blame others for his shortcomings (of which there are very few).

A close second.....the Chargers. Why have they not done squat about their roster. I know they're trying to build a team and I don't blame them for getting rid of Boston, but why haven't they done anything to get a replacement for Boston, improve their o-line, get a decent backup to Brees (flutie is what 8,000 years old), and add some decent players to the defense?

They've got:
Drew Brees-promising 2nd rounder who turned out to bee a bust.
Doug Flutie-He's what 42?
Tim Dwight-I think Dwight is their #1 wideout and I don't know who their #2 is
A revolving-door Oline
I don't think they've got anyone playing on defense.

They've gotten rid of Boston, Wiley, Seau, and Harrison in the past two seasons and they haven't signed any noteworthy free agents.

At least the Cards are finally trying. The Chargers are definately going to be the worst team in football next season.
