If we sign Big Al and don't bring back Evans it's not that we chose one equal player over the other for a ton more money, it's that one is on a completely different plane than the other.

Yes, they are on a completely different plane - One is a cheap player who was surpassed a future first ballot hall of famer on the depth chart last year and ended the season as our best defensive lineman. He's not asking for alot of money, but he would like to start.

The other is 10X more expensive, only plays about half of his units snaps, has a history of on- and off- field character-related problems, lacks motivation, and will likely stop playing once he gets that big contract.

the two should not be in the same sentence. One fits the description of a core redskin. The other fits the description of a bad team mate and piss poor example of a human being.
