Here's to hoping this is more Haynesworth than Moss.

even if he doesn't work out, wasn't there a better chance given his talent and pedigree that he'd work out better than a fourth rounder anyway?
I don't get the mentality of NFL teams who think a fourth round pick is this hugely valuable asset...there's maybe 10 fourth round draft picks from the last decade that have game changing players...and most of those are probably of the Aaron Hernandez "should've gone much sooner, but something stupid like smoking pot made him drop way lower than he ever should have"

Yeah, I'm glad they used a fourth rounder to take a risk with a trade rather than collect a bunch of picks. We'll see what happens...

I see they are pulling their annual late-season hot streak that gets everyone excited enough to think they won't lose again in the playoffs.
