[QUOTE="NYPacker, post: 283146, member: 1831"] TheGiftedApe and and DTown SBrown make the best points here. This isn't a virtual world where you just get a player and somehow they automatically make your team better. This is why a lot of teams look for the intangibles: character, work ethic, team player etc. etc. Without them they have no way to fit with the other guys in the locker room. If you ask me TT doesn't act in FA because he looks for guys like that. Not only does he look for good character guys in the draft but also in FA as well. The truth is, there are more good character guys in the draft than in FA. Another pet peeve of mine is that although we discourage TT for the FA that he doesn't sign, we don't give credit to the ones he does. Tramon Williams, Charles Woodson and Ryan Pickett were solid pickups off the street. We always mention these guys' names bet never put the words "good job TT" in the same sentence. A lot of people say TT didn't participate that much in this year's FA but I believe that's totally bogus. Yes he resigned his own guys but to tell you the truth they were probably the BPAs left in FA anyway. Pickett was the best NT left after Hampton's resigning, Nick Collins was arguably the best safety not to hit the open market and Chad Clifton was hands down the best LT in FA this year. I don't mean to offend anyone but I think it's ignorant to keep mentioning Cromartie's name and bashing TT for not getting him.
