I don't know much about Florence. But, man our luck has got to change at some point with the free agent nickelbacks we sign, doesn't it? (Harris, Wright, Macklin)
I was thinking the same thing. These cornerbacks were all starters on other teams and played well. Then, when they came here they were crap. Well Harris wasn't that bad, but Wright and Macklin were worthless.

It's not like any of those guys were really good before we got them, they were just servicable. We go after average players and expect big things from them. It's not going to happen.

Not that bad? Walt Harris went to the Pro Bowl the year after we released him.

Yeah, I have been one correcting people about it, but I remember reading this somewhere reputable recently. Maybe I dreamt it, but when I read it it seemed plausible like oh yeah I forgot about that. Anyways, wasn't there some stipulation with Ducket that if he got a certain amount of playing time we got a 3rd rounder this year or if not we got a fourth. I remember something to that effect which made what I read plausible. Well, I cant find what I read so oh well . . .

These were all veteran starters who were just asked to be nickel or dime defensive backs. We weren't looking for the next Shawn Springs

I meant he wasn't that bad when he was on the Redskins.

I think we lost our fouth rounder in the Duckett trade, we didn't get one back.

Yeah I guess we just didnt resign him, god I wish I could remember what that was about.
Oh wait, maybe it had to do with not being able to resign derrick dockery?
