If he wasn't good enough when we brought him, what makes him good enough now? I say take our chances

idk about you guys but casillas looked good until he got injured.. im not sure if he still is but yeah im fine with our LB's we just need to keep them healthy hopefully Fujita will be back..

I heard an interview with Brooks on Sirius a few weeks ago. Sounded like the reason he's not here is a $ issue. He's probably commanding more than Mickey is willing to pay at this point.

That's a good point about the $$$.

Its all about the money, and he wants to get paid.

I think I remember hearing the same thing.
I wouldn't mind having him on the team, but he probably wants to be paid based on performance history, without enough consideration on his age.

At this point, with the number of injuries accumulating at a disturbing pace, we should revisit that $ issue. Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.

Marginal profits from reducing expenses - couple million.
Spending marginal profits on All Pro who helps win Super Bowl - priceless.

Pass - he's been doing a lot of studio analyst work, probably not in shape now. I'd rather pick up a UFA if we need to.

We offered him the minimum. We had to bring in a TE for Billy Miller so we went after David Thomas. Fuji was healthy at the time. I guess they figure we can do it with Dunbar until Scott comes back.

I dont' know i just think the guy has something left to offer....and if its a money issue wouldn't he make more playing here than sitting at home? would just like to see the depth so I never have to see mitchell getting playing time again!!
