Not sure what move you are talking about concerning Galette? There were several events connected to Galette. I certainly wouldn't have signed him to an extension knowing what we all know about him now. I'm sure the Saints front office agrees. Too bad we can't see into the future. Or is it the move of cutting him? While it wasn't all they could have done, it was the best PR move. It resulted in a huge cap hit, but without time travel it was unavoidable.

Seeing the production we have seen out of Byrd I wish that move was never made. It had the potential of being another Darren Sharper sort of impact but didn't pan out. Once again, too bad we can't see into the future.

Ditto with Browner.

As for Fleener, I have absolutely no issue with his acquisition. The jury is still out on that one, but I see the potential for sure.

As soon as I get your answer on the Callahan transactions. How would you have done it any differently besides your canned response of "I wouldn't have done it."

Obviously, they saw it as a great waiver opportunity, as did the Browns. We both know having a valid commodity hit the waiver, especially at this late date, is very rare. How would you have handled the situation any differently given the rules pertaining to waiver acquisitions, practice squad eligibility and active roster limitations?

McCain would never had been promoted to the active squad after having used the priority claim on Callahan...

The team has preached players being multi-functional, then I'd installed a rotation of all the active defensive linemen (i.e. Onyemata would play some end as well as tackle) and had it game-planned that way instead of bringing in another body who wasn't going to see the field anyways...
