  1. Some players get bonuses when they sign. Usually they are healthy established vets that take part of their deal upfront. Imports getting signing bonuses at a significantly reduced tax rate as well. I'm not sure that Garrett was established vet and coming off a serious surgery it might have had a big element of risk associated with it.

  2. The Sun reported that Garrett got 10k to resign in the off season? Who in the right mind does that deal? A guy coming off surgery for a torn Achilles with nowhere to go gets handed 10k.......right up there with the big one Hefney got before he got cut too. Nice work...who done it?

  3. You r correct Fan Girl. Hodgkinson was managing the SMS, and doing the contracts. The hilarious part of this is he was the forgotten man in all of this and the unknown soldier. It seems he got tossed aside by people who had no idea what it was he was actually doing. Perhaps part of Garth's grant plan for Duane Forde. It was Mack who didn't value and listen to the advise of Walter's, Hodgkinson and others regarding the draft and NIPs.

  4. You can't really evaluate a GMs performance simply on one aspect of the position. Hence the term General Manager. He was not a General and anything but a Manger except in areas he should have left to the coaching staff. Perhaps that is why he hired inexperienced HCs he could then control and micro manage.

  5. These moves weren't done to make cap space they were done because of cap problems. You can't routinely one game injure 7 to 9 guys a week and make the cap. Too many healthy guys on there now. 2 import backs on the roster a third around is am unnecessary luxury. Whether it was Ford or Garrett it is academic. They better dump so more fat or they will be in cap trouble.

    This wasn't a problem before when someone was actually managing the cap. It wasn't Mack either. The only cap he knew was one he wore to practice.
