George to be cut.

Please don't try to tell me that Rock Cartwright is better. He's not!

Hey SportsCurmudgeon! Someone is spoofing your name! They make it sound like you want to sign Eddie George!

The assumption that his price will be reasonable is the problem here. What is reasonable for a back on the downslope of his career who averaged 3.3 YPC last year? Certainly you don't want to pay a lot of signing bonus, because George probably doesn't have too many years left in the tank.

And I agree - Rock Cartwright isn't fit to carry Eddie George's ... groceries. But he can probably get 3.4 yards per carry next year, and at a much better salary.
