Winslow Threaten's Skin's!

[JWsleep]

I am confident that if Taylor had not been there at #5, we would have drafted KW II, Postons or no. And I sincerely believe that it was a football decision, rather than an agent-based decision that swung the skins to Taylor. It sounds like Williams really made a convincing case for Taylor in the final days.

All that being said, I think the skins have every right to publicly blast agents that they don't like (and as noted, they are not alone in this with the Postons). If they could have influenced KW II to go with Rosenhaus (sp?), that would have been to their advantage, given the past relationship they've established. Yes, they still have to deal with the Lavar situation, but they didn't want Lavar, part-II on their hands, or another rookie hold out. Smoot dumped the Postons, so it may be having an effect.

I know we don't know all the facts, and that anything can happen in arbitration, but if things are as were reported in the Times, Post, ESPN, Fox, etc., then the Postons screwed up big time with Lavar, and are trying to cover their asses by forcing arbitration. That's bush-league nonsense, and the skins are correct to rally against the Postons.

Plus, check out this link (pulled from another thread). Do you really think we could have gotten KW into camp this year, given the Lavar situation? GIven that these are the first comments after the draft, I'd give 2-1 KW is a hold out. BUt we'll see...

Here's a representative quote:

Asked whether he could say he'll get Winslow to camp on time, Poston said: "No, I can't. You try to. It takes two to dance. You have to look at who the sixth pick was, who his agent was and other variables. It's not in a vacuum like that."

Good luck, Cleveland.

I hope we never even think about drafting a Poston client. These guys almost have market cornered on NFL head cases. Not one team would have taken this guy with the 1st pick, all 32 would have taken Gallery, Eli, or traded down. Poston thinks the NFL should let this guy in the hall of fame already.

It take's 2 to dance, but the poston's keep stepping on every one's feet.
