In his first few years, Hurney seemed to go get a good FA every year. He never went out and signed a top tier FA, but guys like Lucas, Wahle, and Hartwig. I think Hartwig was actually the last one he signed that other teams were pursuing, and maybe because he busted Hurney backed off them. Or it could have come from JR. We got Tyler Brayton (Raiders starter) in 2009, and that was it. Coincidentally, that was also the last season where JR's sons were running things, so the idea that management told him to cut it out may be valid.

If it is, then it will probably have bearing on how the next GM behaves (i.e., don't look for a Vincent Jackson type of signing any time soon). Or maybe Hurney just got sick of going after them.

Stephen Davis

Ken Lucas

Mike Wahle

Marlon McCree

Chris Harris

Moose resigning

Tried with Keyshawn

Shockey

Edit: I would consider Olsen a FA signing

Just off the top of my head

Was 2005 the year that McCree was just straight up awesome? I remember him being a great pickup for us.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
