Well the problem is this. If a player complains he doesn't want to be here are you simply just gonna let him go. Disregaurding all the consequences that loom. Mainly a salary cap hit. Basically we traded a great WR for sub-par talent. They are on no equal levels I do not care what you say it is true. If LaVar wanted out would you take the cap hit for a meriocre LB like Ike Reese. No, you wouldn't, this trade hurt us in more than one ways. One is that we let two core guys go and 2. Obviously no one is running this front office right. Coles will flourish being back with the Jets, him and C. Penn. were a deadly combo when he was there. I wouldn't bet the book on Santana Moss signing a long term deal with us either. David Patten is good not great, then if we draft a WR that will take a couple of years to bring him up. I love the Skins to death, but there offseason priorities were mixed up this year. I feel Smoot deserves more money than Springs. Smoot is going to give you everything he has on the field. Sure he might get burned once or twice, but who doesn't in the league. Only time will tell you about letting these players go. Pierce may not do all that great, but Smoot will be alright.
