Nope, Marty Hurney who I hope is gone with the rest.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it, I think the whole front office will be cleaned out.

I've got no problem with Harris leaning on Hurney, it's only natural when you're new to an organization to find someone to glean info from. Doesn't necessarily mean much beyond that.

I have a problem when Hurney said a 2nd rounder for Sweat is a great deal, should have gotten a 1st rounder or kept him. Sweat has 10 sacks and counting.

It's not what he's worth, it's what he's worth when you sell him. With 1-2 years on a contract I'd agree, but nobody was giving up a 1st for an impending FA. They had to offer a 2nd AND pony up for a big new contract.

Then you keep him and resign him or tag him, we had the $$$.

But it is obvious that Harris didn't want this. It was reported that the coaches wanted to keep Sweat, but they were overruled by ownership.

I didn't see that but I did see that they offered him the chance to turn the trade down if he wanted.

I hope not. I'm sure Hurney is a respected person inside the organization, but his track record as a talent evaluator is terrible. The Tepper endorsement doesn't mean jack shit either, that guy is heir to Snyder's throne.

I hope Harris is just relying on Hurney for advice on how to handle the search.
