[QUOTE="dxbfan, post: 115982, member: 722"] While my remark was facetious, the point I was hoping to make was that Manuel's signing didnt seem to be the typical audition FAs at the position, choose the best for your needs, agree terms. Manuel was sought out by TT and his first FA signing of the preseason. Quote from a JS Online article at the time: "General manager Ted Thompson paid Manuel $2 million in bonuses because he thought the former Seattle Seahawks starter could come in and run the Packers' secondary. Thompson thought the unit lacked a conductor, and in particular needed someone who could mentor young safety Nick Collins and free him to use his playmaking ability." Just as many of us at the time may have chosen Jim Bates/Sean Peyton over MM or a "bigger name" than McCarthy, TT had his reasons for his choice. The point I was simply trying to make is that while some of us may think we need a new safety, we dont know if TT has reached the same conclusion. [/QUOTE]
