This is NOT something to beat up the FO about. They made good signings with both of these guys but the "football gods" did not smile on the Skins in those situations. Neither guy is the reason the Skins are having "cap difficultes". The FO took a shot at two productive players who had some injury history; in both cases, they crapped out. Hi Ho!
