He's gotta start declining sometime, this may be the year.

Can already see it happening. If we were smart we'd trade his ass ASAP. Get a 1st and a 3rd from a team looking to make a run at the Super Bowl this year. Of course it'd be nice if we had some young guys waiting in the wings ready to step in but what the hell, you can't have everything I guess.

yes you are right...but he played none of the pre-season and has been limited because of his knee problem.

Seriously, this is what separates the good franchises from the great ones. The great (AKA ruthless) teams see what's happening and ship out their once-great players to the Redskins/Raiders of the world for a buttload of draft picks right before they completely fall off and have zero trade value. Only a few teams really do this though, most of them will hang on to guys past their prime because of loyalty and hope they turn things around.

That's not true. It seperates the ruthless ones from the rest of the NFL.

Not many teams will just wave goodbye after they send one of their greatest ever players packing. Most teams find a role for them in the team, offer them a contract equivalent to that new position, if it's rejected THEN they ship them out.

Look at the Pats. They are awash with old vets who just know how to play the game. Their third down team are all intelligent vets who just know how to get open. The Colts held onto Harrison, the Steelers still have Ward. Wrs can go for a long time. As they age the great ones learn how to use other tools to make plays.
