    Best= Vinny T.

    Worst= Steve White--he is so bad nobody probably remembers him but he got a decent contract to join the jets and produced squat.

    I do remember him, I don't remember what kind of deal he got. I don't recall it being a big deal but I could be wrong.

    Incentive laden tells me it wasn't a big deal. he obviously didn't hit those incentives and we probably didn't pay him much. the worst FA signings are the ones w/ high guaranteed dollars that can hurt your cap.

    Williams and O'Donnell I agree, Graham was good for us briefly. I felt he was underutilized here and Slaughter was a low cost, off the street FA on a really bad team.

    Most people forget him because he was cut so quickly but Dexter Carter was a terrible FA signing, guy was absolutely terrible.

    Dexter was brought on to be a leader from a winning SF organization, he was a disaster. Great guest on the Howard Stern show though, he used to speak the truth weekly when talking to Howard at the time

    signed a 3 year deal here after winning the SB with San Fran. Only ended up played 10 games with the Jets, fumbling 7 times before getting cut midseason and signing back with San Fran

    Now you are going way back.... those early 90's Stern Shows were pretty wild. I even remember his TV show ....was it on WWOR?
