Willie Anderson was the only surprise and probably the only mistake. O'neal was over-paid to return. Rudi lost the chip on his shoulder and Jim Anderson's backing. They won't be out of work for long, only Willie will get a decent contract though.

Well, in my opinion pw (and yes, hindsight is 20/20), the only "mistake" involving Willie is that he was signed instead of Steinbach.
Though I agree with the other cuts. Though I feel this is the beginning of a shortage at corner.

have to agree center is looking thin and will be a problem all season if they don't make a wavier move. hindsight being 20/20 choice was steinbach or jones, and they wanted to keep jones as willie's replacement. if they could have worked out a way to keep steinbach and jones, it would have been the best scenario. The timing of the deals didn't work out for that move though.
Also, watson will be the starter when perry gets hurt...

Now that I check my memory bank, you are right pw: it was Jones or Steinbach. I remember Jones' signing being the "uh oh" moment for Eric's Aunt and Uncle. Though I'm sure they weren't upset with the Cleveland payday.
I'm looking forward to Watson starting eventually as well. :)
Though, the cut of Rudi has affected our overall Johnson count.

They could always sign Shaun Alexander. This team is desperate.

is Perry durable enough to last 16 games as the starter? isn't that the reason he hasn't played more in the past?
