The front office bashers seem kinda quiet now..."

Yeah Matty, getting a 7th rounder for a former 1st round pick really changes my opinion of the front office. You are sooo right, I should shut my mouth, whatever was I thinking? This is nothing to high five each other about, its a sad day really as a first round pick hits the door for next to nothing. Gardner has real talent and he'll do well in Carolina. So, lets evaluate this front office on their moves since Gibbs got there:

1. Traded Bailey AND a 2nd rounder for Portis.
2. Traded for Mark Brunell, gave him a giant contract with a crippling signing bonus.
3. Traded disgruntled WR Coles to the Jets for Santana Moss. Moss held out.
4. Traded the 2005 third and a 2006 first and fourth round pick for Denver’s 25th overall.
5. Traded a 2001 first rounder to Carolina for a 6th or 7th round choice. In all fairness Gardner was going to be released for salary cap purposes.
