Are we officially free of all of Huney's contracts?

And Thomas Davis and Kalil and Charles Johnson, and Stewart and brought in Tolbert and traded for Greg Olsen<--- which is still the most impressive move this team has ever made. 

So yea he was only responsible for 80% of the pro bowlers on the team last year. But bow down to the mighty Dave.

I'm pretty sure it's because we abandoned a sustatained level of success (which is why we were picking in the top-10 so often) for a dark and seedy future with evil Dave.

This Hurney revisionist history is straight up dumb.  That man should be tarred and feathered for what he put us through.  Thanks for the few good players you brought but get gone and stay gone.

An NFL GM builds a roster of 53 players, not 8.

Hurney's 53 man rosters got us 3 playoff appearances in 11 years. Gettleman has matched that, including the Super Bowl, in his first 3 seasons.

Another winning season this year and we'll have our first back to back years plus he'll surpass Hurney's playoff tally with 7 years left to go.

Any argument that Hurney was a better GM is ridiculous to the point of absolute stupidity.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
