Offseason personnel strategy

[Citizens for 81]

The talk about the skins losing Pierce is a bit overstated. I remember Gibbs saying the deal they offered him was about the same. The guy wanted to go.

the skins tried to haggle him and offered him about $1mill less, so he got pissed they were trying to cheap out on him after overpaying so many others from outside the orginization and left (quite bitter).

Pierce shouldn't have gone all season saying he was a "Redskin for life" or whatever it was he said exactly. Good luck to him though

I'm still bitter about Pierce. Of course you (TAFKAS) would know better than any of us, but I thought he could have given the skins a more realistic chance of re-signing him.

He was undrafted, the organization gave him the opportunity to blossom, he had a great season (and at that time who knows if he was a one year wonder or not), and then he expects the skins to break the bank on him. Then after he signs with the Giants he talks garbage about the team that gave him his first opprotunity.

He just seems like an ungrateful prick to me.

I don't really know much about what happened with Pierce.

in his eyes, he came in when the team had no other options, he gave a pro-bowl performance after waiting his turn on the bench, and as soon as someone offered him a contract, his team and his "family" that called him a "core redskin" spat in his face by low-balling him and telling him he wasn't worth it, and that he was easily re-placeable. he didn't have to give the skins the option to match that deal, but he said he would and he kept his word. You can't really be mad at the player for taking the better offer.

and i don't really like his constant s&*$ talk either, but he wouldn't be talking like that if he didn't care or didn't want to be here.
