Curtis Martin to the Jets

Charles Woodson to the Packers

Deion Sanders to the 49er's

Reggie White to the Packers

You forgot Jerry Rice taking the raiders to the supebowl... So there you have it the best players in the NFL history made some impact on their new teams.

The Jets had 1 good year, 1998 then 2nd year of Curtis Martin's contract with the jets. Also they signed a QB that year, non other than Vinny T. who threw for 29 Td's and only 7 picks.

Also did'nt hurt that their their coaching staff was..

Bill parcels-Head Coach

Bill Bellicheat-D. Coordinator

Charlie Weiss O. Coordinator

other assistants include Romeo Crennel,Eric Mangini and Todd Haley.

Deion- Cowboys-Skins-niners

Reggie White- Packers

Charles Haley -Boys

WR Ed Mccaffrey and Bill Romanowski on TO-Broncos

TO-Eagles sb run

Rb Charlie Garner-Raiders

But really a rare exception is that any free agency splurge will push a team from mid-level to Championship caliber.

A team has to be on the verge like the Niners and quickly the Seahawks..

    • "Just $3 mil," you say. I don't understand why anyone would be upset about incentives. There is a reason they're there: to motivate and bring out the best in a player. I agree with you that we could've saved ourselves roughly $2.5 mil, at least, but it's certainly more risky to gamble on "potential," than to just pay for someone who has already proven themselves to be legit in the NFL. That being said, I'd have probably gambled. But I'm not overly concerned with the contract. There are more interesting things to talk about.
    • Return of the “smokescreen”. Huddle classic, I get it. i don’t think they are doing any covert operations here. If it’s offense, it’s Tet or Warren. But it’s likely to be one of those Georgia guys as an OLB, it’s the safest bet and probably where I would go if we stay at 8. Maybe even Starks at S if we trade down, although I’d feel the same about that as taking Golden. The wide receiver class this year is weird. You don’t see a lot of route separation on film. Restrepo is pretty good at it, Lacy is good at it but may have to play in prison league. Tet makes all his plays on “fug it Tet is down there somewhere” broken plays. Golden uses timing and speed changes to get him some space, but I’d like some of his routes to be more intentional. I also don’t think you can go in thinking track record. And it’s not just WR, outside of Kalil it’s been a train wreck for pretty much everything in R2 for us.  
    • Lotta love for Warren here.  I am not high on a TE at 8--heck, last year Bowers did not go until around 12 or 13.  Plug and Play is a good point, and we could run some double tight with (in my opinion) two very effective TEs.  If it were down to those two, I think I would go with Johnson and have the best CB tandem--especially if we do not get a plug and play edge.  There are many ways to go....
