[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 733220, member: 4199"] I've thought about this quite a bit. Usual general assumptions out of the way: No one is being blackmailed, the front office drunk and/or high, everyone is behaving generally rationally... Best I can come up with is that part of their high rate of success is they have very specific criteria and are [B]very [/B]picky about the scoring or whatever metric says "Sign" vs. "No-Sign." That's the exact formula I referenced above. What's the recipe for an approved, good TT FA signing? Elite talent seems to help. Woodson and Peppers are HOFers. Bennett was certainly top-10 at least once in his career. Not losing a comp pick helps, but it doesn't seem to be required. Woodson, Pickett, and Bennett should have invalidated comp picks. Though I don't remember who Green Bay lost when we got Wood and Pick. Dollar-Value. TT seems to have a pretty specific dollar amount he's willing to pay. Roster-Value. Line up a FA with a position to patch up on the roster. Woodson, Pickett, Bennet, Cook, Peppers all meet those criteria. Position-Value. Cornerback, Pass rusher, big run-stuffer--no-brainers. Receiving TE--less so, but those guys are at least a little rare. ILB--fullback of the defense, going the way of the dinosaur. Explains why he'd ignore the position, even when it was quite poor. WR--apparently the easiest position for TT to draft, so it's unlikely to happen. Of course, that's just hindsight and looking for a pattern. Watch next year him sign an ILB and a WR just to screw with the pattern. :) [/QUOTE]
