Obviously, you weigh everything when you are dealing with a situation like this, but we believe Dan is a difference maker for us, |
Right now we're seeing if he thinks we're a good fit for him, and vice versa. |
Sometimes there is enough to cross him off the board. There are always some like that, but not many. |
That's a league matter. I have no comment. |
That's part of the plan. |
The key is to come out with the best guys available. |
The rumors are flying right now. If people anywhere are saying they know who we're taking, they're ahead of us. |
The terms have been agreed to, now he's just taken it to someone outside to have the language approved. We hope to be able to formally introduce him later [Friday]. |
The way we do things, everybody has a voice. You can find 15 people who have had a voice in a decision. |
They're obviously the elite defense in the NFL right now. That's a defense that sets the tone for the game and a defense that can score points, which sets the great defenses apart from the good defenses. |
Think about running the ball in the NFL. If you're going to build yourself around that, you sometimes have to be very patient. You have to be a master at being patient. John takes that approach here not only in games, but every day here in everything he does. |
Was I unreasonable? Apparently not. |
We don't know anything about it because we really have not been informed throughout the legal process. |
We feel like he's a talented player. We think he can help us out here and hopefully he'll be able to put those injury problems behind him. |
We feel like he's a valuable member of our team and we put the transition tag on him in an effort to keep him. |
