"JACK"ED UP THOUGHTS
The Free Agency period has not been exactly fast & furious this year. But, it has been entertaining. While there are some great moves made by a few teams, there sure have been some head scratchers too!
My top two head scratchers are:
1. OL Leanord Davis- This guy was widely regarded as an absolute first round bust when he wore the uniform of an Arizona Cardinal. However, the enigmatic Jerry Jones apparently has thought it wise to lay a 7 year $49.6 million contract on this guy. On top of that he guaranteed $18.75 million of the money to Davis. $18.75 million in guaranteed money to a man who they have no idea if he will attempt to play at guard or tackle and at best was average at these positions. Unless Davis was faking how good he was to escape the desert heat & Jones was in on it, this Free Agent signing ranks as the worst of the off season.
2. QB Jeff Garcia- Let me just say that I think John Gruden is a very good Head Coach. Now let me say that I think John Gruden has lost his mind. You just spent the whole season convincing us all that your young QB Gradkowski has incredible potential & that he defiantly is a starter in this league! You then signed your former starter, QB Chris Simms, who actually is good enough to start in the NFL to a starters contract. Now, you turn to a QB Free Agent that has lost his starting spot on every team he has been a part of & returned to a starting position by default/injury, to save the Buc's? Jeff Garcia has got it made when it comes to Playboy Models kicking each others butts in a bar. Money does the strangest things to women's hormones. But, Garcia is finished as a starter in this league. Not only is he 38 years old, some say he was a product of a system during his glory days in San Francisco. Methinks that Mr. Gruden is panicking & that the Buc's owner is sharpening the proverbial axe. Why else would he make such a bone headed maneuver?
