The Fox regime has been pretty good about not letting good players leave

back in the heyday of the atlanta braves run of dominance (when they'd at least wait until the postseason before they collapsed) there was an old saying: don't trade for a braves pitcher. if the braves didn't want him, there was nothing to be done with him. this held up until the braves traded their best pitching prospect for 130 games of JD Drew and Eli Merrero to prop up a meaningless record that no one gave a poo about anymore and put off the much needed year of rebuilding just to satiate bobby cox RRARARARARARAGAG fug YOU BOBBY COX

anyway, with only one notable except, Fox and co haven't been hit by any huge free agents leaving for greener pastures, which means that they value their own, and they have a good eye for talent. Only a couple of guys really stand out to me as major misses, and in 8 years that's pretty good.

2003

Hannibal Navies - sucked

Jamar Nesbit - never more than a grease man

2004

Kevin Dyson - sucked

Greg Favors - had one year left then fell apart

Deon Grant - overrated as hell, never more than serviceable

Reggie Howard - just a dude

Jeno James - okay he was pretty good. THIS ONE SUCKED

Jermaine Wiggins - sucked

2005

Brian Allen - I've never heard of this man

Travares Tillman - terrible

2006

Idrees Bashir - terrible

Ricky Manning Jr. - sucked after rule change, horrible off the field issues

Marlon McRee - murdered by angry chargers fans

Kemp Rasmussen - terrible

tutan reyes - started 9 games in the last 5 years

dante wesley - grease man

will witherspoon - fffffffffffffffffffff

2007

Vinny Ciurciu - grease man

Chris Draft - meh

Mike Siedman - worthless bust

2008

Drew Carter - worthless

Keary Colbert - tricked shanahan into signing him. now installing windows for lowes

Marquand Manuel - no lie: the worst safety in the league

Kindal Moorehead - fffffffffffffff boy that depth coulda helped!

2009

Geoff Hangartner - had to be let go. we couldn't afford him. im sure they would have liked to keep him

Mark Jones - cut by tennessee in training camp

Jason Kyle - had to be done to keep peppers, doesn't look bad because it didn't screw us

Frank Omiyale - useless in chicago

Adam Seward - he a bitch

there's only three in there in 8 years of fox free agency that stick out as bad losses. that's pretty cool.

now of course this doesn't take into consideration all the players that have received extensions that boggle the mind, and of course jovan haye getting cut after fifteen minutes, and maybe it's just a side effect of fox always staying on the side of sticking with players he knows, but it's kinda cool there's not many players i have to watch and think OH poo WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

Tony Brown and Jovan Haye come to mind.....Although we were "stacked" on the line when they were here. Also Jarrett Bush who plays for Green Bay the past few years..

Yup, both those guys were victims of a numbers game when they were with us... we had bigger holes to fill.

These guys were cuts/attempted practice squad additions. But when it comes to letting FA's go we have a pretty good track record.

Dante Wesley came back & is doing very well for us. Grease man indeed. See 1st Bucs 2009 game.

Terry Cousin left in 2004 but came back & played ST/safety well until he retired. Now does sports commentary for the Fox tv station in Charlotte.

Mark Jones would be with us if he had passed his physical. Once he healed, he re-signed with TN.

You missed the "Predator" who cut his hair and last I knew was with Houston doing well.

There was also a fullback that we cut that is a starter for TN. Casey Cramer?

Taye Biddle who is now a NY Giant. Met him, upstanding young man. Fast as hell.

Just off the top of my head. There's many more, I'm sure. These here probably would be remembered by fans, even Huddle members.

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
