what about them signing walter jones, shaun alexander and hasslebeck in the same year...

they also got branch, burleson...granted they are great but they paid good money for them.

also got grant winstrom

i'm sure some others but that's all i can think of in the last few years.

Was Moulds a free agent or was he recently cut by Houston? Why did he wait so long to sign with a team this year?

i mentioned them again, because Seattle was able to sign all of them in the same year. they paid a lot for those three guys that year...

i don't think we should have gone after anyone...the free agents that signed were over-paid.

What? You can't be serious. What big-time free agents were out there at positions we needed? Spend, spend, spend? Useless; what do you expect?

Didn't keep any good palyers? I hope you are referring to Travis Henry; so what, we got out-bid for him. I'll miss him, but part of his success was due to that O-Line. One more strike and he's suspended for a year. Who else is gone that we will miss?

Moulds will be more productive than Givens, Thigpen, or Pickens. He's a nice addition, much nicer than Keyshawn would have been.

If they work a deal for a defensive end, we all know who, and maybe if V.Y. can stay healthy and avoid the jinx and the Madden curse, you never know what this team might be able to accomplish. No one expected 8 wins last season. I expect 6 this season, but you never know.

Damn naysayers. Where's the fun in being so pessimistic? This is the NFL, it's July; dream a little bit.

Dont forget in Seattle he let maybe the best OL go in Hutchenson, and to strike back he signed Burlson which was a super trade off if your the Vikes.

He also let their top special teams player Isiah K. get signed by division rival St.Louis last year in which he gave them their whole play book. Mike H was very pissed off over that one bc he was assured Isiah would be signed by the GM.

I have a new respect for Reese after seeing him on ESPN a few times.

you must have forgot about the "Poison Pill" that the Vikings put in their offer. They said that if he played 6 games in the state of Washington that he would receive an extra millions of dollars (i'm not sure the exact amount).

because of that, there is no way that seattle could have matched it.

There was a big deal about the contract that he signed in Minny...
