Brunell - yup.
Morton - probably, but the Morton offer was designed to get us Coles. We knew the Jets couldn't match both offers. We didn't know they'd fail to match either. Anyway, it's hard to ball-bust someone for getting too big a check when they're on IR.
Wynn - I want to hate Wynn every year, because he's overpaid. And every year, he leads the D-line in tackles. Is he overpaid - yes. But look at the numbers from the last three years, and grit your teeth, and hand him the check.
Samuels - for the level he plays at, definitely. But he's working on a deal that was designed to be renegotiated. As a team, we couldn't cut him, and he knew it. By his level of play, and by his negotiating tactics, he isn't making friends in the organization.
I'd add Barrow as a poor signing. I'm aware he is hurt, but he never took a snap for us. How do you miss that the guy can't walk or run without pain? My advice would be to make him climb a flight of stairs to get to his contract. If he has to stop for a break, tear up the deal.
