Big guy to clog up the middle if it fits your scheme though.

I was going through his stats awhile back and I seem to recall most of his career seasons being also contract years, so it might just be that he is somewhat of the Haynesworth-type - only motivated to get a lucrative new deal and once it's secured, they'll relax and just do the bare minimum.

I was hoping it would be different with the Saints and that GW would be able to light a fire under his a$$, but I guess I was wrong or he wasn't just utilized as well as he could've been. Who knows?!

I wouldn't be against having him back for the right price (~$2M) and if he's motivated enough to be a competitor, but if I had to choose between him and Franklin - the choice would be obviously to go with Franklin.
