is the same guy who gave Jairus Byrd an enormous deal and signed Champ Bailey to start at cornerback last offseason, and both of those moves turned out to be mistakes.

so how do we know the Jairus Byrd signing was a mistake? This guy sounds like a tool. Byrd has already reworked his deal and should be good to go health wise this year. Was taking a flier on Champ Bailey a mistake? Probably. But not a major one money wise.

We drafted a corner who barely contributed in any way so there is that. Plus the guy is going to be 25 when the season starts and has hardly any experience. If I'm gonna nitpick about something... it would be that.

In hindsight, sure. But at the time, you would think between Champ, your 5th year former 1st round pick that has shown flashes (P-Rob), and a 2nd round pick (SJB), that someone could have won that spot. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Maybe that could have been more aggressive like they were this year with Browner to get more of a sure thing, but it wasn't Champ or bust at #2. None of the other options happened to work out either.

All he did was convert a roster bonus to a signing bonus. It was planned when he signed the deal (the same reason Gallete had the same type of setup). It is written into the contract in order to defer cap space.
