I think with Viniateri and Givens they felt they could replace both with drafting the new kicker and Chad Jackson. McGinnest is in his mid 30's so I guess they felt he was on the downside. But Ty Law (and Lawyer Malloy) is interesting. I know Law hurt his foot during one of the SB runs and could not play. I wonder if they did get anything back for those guys. I honestly don't remember. But I already heard on Sports Center that they are planning to franchise Samuel if they can't get a deal done.
