    Curtis would have to be best but was he was a RFA and we gave up 1st and 3rd rd picks so it was more like a trade.

    Hated the Derrick Mason signing. Just everything wrong with that whole offseason.

    I would agree, w/ all we paid and what we actually got. he wasn't a bad QB but just not a fit for us.

    For Me:

    Best - Bryan Cox - Added huge toughness to that 1998 Defense that won our first Divisional title.
    Worst - Ty Law.

    Cox is a great choice but when we think of FA we usually think the bigger ticket guys. Cox was a guy no one else wanted and we signed late. a GREAT signing though but low risk, high reward type of guy.

    He was a colossal pain in the ass, but when he was on the field, he gave you EVERYTHING he had.

    Lott was back in the Plan B days, he was at the end of his career but it was still fun watching him.

    Monk and Atwater were both done when we got them, Taylor was a big disappointment.

    He was a trade.

    Worst trade ever IMHO.

    Good call.
    Sorry everyone. Mind couldn't accept that someone would give up something to acquire him

    The Kevan Barlow trade was worse. Ten times. At least.

    I wasn't talking strategic wise--just about how it made me detest what my franchise did.

    Some trades work out, some don't. It happens.

    This was on a different level for me.
