We've been building this team to be a good, stable team for a long time. We didn't have that luxury the last time. We had to make hard decisions on the fly.
We've talked to some teams about players. I'm not going to get into the specific names, but it could be something we'll listen to.
The one position I think ? not think, but know ? has been undervalued with free agency and expansion with 32 teams now is the offensive line. The colleges just aren't generating enough offensive linemen to facilitate all 32 football teams.
If we're contingent on just one player then obviously we didn't build this team to win. So we feel real good about this football team, but it's a tough blow. I'm not going to sit here and say it isn't.
If we're contingent on just one player, then obviously we didn't build this team to win. It's a tough blow, I'm not going to sit here and say it isn't. ... We'll get through it. I feel good about our locker room, I feel good about our coaches and we're going to move forward.
I know a lot's being said about Rex, the eulogy of the team given that Rex is out. I want to make sure our fans know we're not here lamenting over Rex Grossman. It's unfortunate. ... We have a lot of confidence in our quarterbacks and (offensive coordinator) Ron Turner.
I said 'Marc, I hope you prove me wrong,' ... And I know like Marc felt like he's still a starter in the league and I hope he can be. But again, it was a decision we felt like was in the best interest of the club and he knew that. We have to think team first.
That's a lot of money, but that's a unique offense. A receiver in that offense is obviously of more value than, maybe, a running back is. That's what each team has to do. They have to evaluate the positions.
I don't buy it, but that will be the logic for the team that picks him, that we have an extra pick to gamble on,
We're going in with the hand we dealt ourselves. We said that going in and we're comfortable with it. We feel good about our football team. If we're contingent on just one player, then obviously we didn't build this team to win.
There will be a few teams that'll come out (fast). I know I've heard of some things going on right now. So there will be some pretty big deals that will come out like in normal years.
We'll be able to go business as usual. Some teams may not be able to do that because of their salary cap situation.
