Barrow, Armstead, Trotter, Deion Sanders, Dan Wilkinson, Dana Stubblefield, Duckett, Brunell, Brad Johnson, Larry Centers, David Patten, Andre Reed, Troy Vincent, Mike Rumph, Matt Bowen, Trung Canidate, Laveranues Coles, Jeff Posey, Lloyd, Randel El,

Believe me Strahan will fit on this list of under acheivers--over paid players that Snyder brought in.

Here's a list of guys we could have made a move for this year.

Darwin Walker, Kris Jenkins, Tank Johnson, Corey Simon, Alex Brown, Kevin Carter, Ian Scott

Earthquake - your post about sums up the mess of our FO decision making. Not only have the Skins hurt their cap with these signings, but we throw away a lot of picks to get these "valuable / key" players and we also let go of a lot of our own key free agents.

One other thing people forgot to mention relating to Strahan - hasn't Gibbs and Williams been defending the defensive line for the past month saying we believe in these guys and were sticking with them this year when asked by the media why they didn't draft any defensive lineman? So basically Gibbs and Williams were lying and have no faith in their defensive lineman as soon as Strahan gets his name thrown out by the media as a possible player that can be acquired? If this is true it means that the coaches probably don't have too much faith in the defensive line and that makes me worry that this is not going to be a season to remember as far as the Defense is concerned.

Like the majority of the posters say - no more old, beat up players looking for bejamins. Give your defensive lineman a chance to prove themselves like you said they deserve - and if things fall apart repair them next offseason.
