    Met with, but apparently didn't get any offers. This is why we got him for peanuts.

    No, the White Sox got Griffey Jr for peanuts. The Titans were able to sign a starting TE below the usual value.

    I think the going rate for a multiple PB TE is close to 2x what we paid. I call that peanuts, but I suppose it is quite a bit above the vet min.

    Either way, we appear to have bought into a very nice deal if camp is any indication.

    AHA !!!!
    but which of those teams offered him deals ?

    I didn't say noone else showed interest
    I said noone really wanted him ..... which is NOT completely untrue as Gunny alludes

    hell, the Titans didn't really want him. if we had, we'd had offered him better money sooner

    teams were concerned about his knees - that's why noone offered him more than the 2year/ $5.25million deal we gave him

    hell, the Falcons gave Ben Hartsock a 4year $9million deal
    (twice the deal that Crumpler got - for comparison)

    10 teams showed interest and all he got out of it was a little more than the vet minimum ....... I wouldn't call that as anyone really wanting him

    The only player I would trade for right now is Anquan Boldin. We have the money to accomodate him with a great contract. I would trade our 1st round pick for Boldin...

    I'd like to make sure VY can become a good passer before we invest a ton a money to a WR who can barely get 1,000 yards and 7 tds. If he can become a better passer I'm all for a Boldin, Houshmanzadeh, Williams, etc.
