I didn't say the biggest of dumb moves. I meant the move that most screamed pure dumbness. Trading for a player that you can get for free is deeply stupid, more stupid than misjudging talent.

You mean like trading a 3rd for Brunell and extending him when the whole league knew Jax was going to drop him?

Like I said, a door ding.

Fair enough. Good example.

Trading for Erasmus was a bad move in hindsight but when they did the move it made some sense. At that point, we had no one who was getting to the QB consistently and a 7th for a guy who was drafted in the 1st round as a pass rusher wasn't a completely terrible idea.

If memory serves me right, had Erasmus gotten cut, he would have gone through the waiver wire and other teams would have picked him up. Not that this actually justifies the move, but it explains why they did it. Besides, it's not like 7th rounders work out all the time.

I'm sure I can think of one or two or fifty other moves made by Vinny that were dumber than this one.
