Did we even talk to Rivera, Whale(probably spelled that wrong). Did we show Kennedy the money? Why is Garcia still shopping his talents? Are we waiting for Batch to come home? We need a reciever, Troy Brown is the ultimate team player or maybe we can get Bill back.
We had a visit scheduled with Rivera, the day after he signed with the Cowboys. Millen tried to get him. He was their #1 priority, and they tried to get him.
I don't know about Kennedy and his money... he was supposed to visit today and tomorrow.
Millen doesn't want Garcia... which is why he wasn't signed so soon.
Troy Brown doesn't want to come here. He wants to go back to New England. This team also doesn't want to sign old free agents.
Also, we are forgetting the fact that we kept Shaun Rogers and Dominic Raiola. Had we lost Raiola, things this FA could have been ugly. If Rogers was just franchised, he could have held out. The fact that we kept our two best free agents, and signed them to 5+ year deals, is great. The Lions usually let their upper tier free agents walk, because they can't keep them (Barrett Green, Chris Claiborne, David Sloan, Jeff Hartings).
