Rather than ponying up the extra mill or two it would cost to get the sure thing. Bad contracts to aging vets who used to put up top 6 numbers is Trelivings trademark this time of year and it sounds like we are players to do it again with Coleman. You can try to defend Treliving and his UFA performance over the years but this is a results based league and he has next to no results to show for near 8 years of directing the ship so sue me for being disappointed I guess when I hear that we are going after the same blueprint that has netted us those no results in those 8 years.

Stay on topic. The discussion was about signing the likes of Gudbranson, Lewis, or Thompson. I don’t see the link to Brouwer or Neal whatsoever.
