The Stanford stat is unnecessary. Stanford plays mop up with weak surrounding talent. You don't want DB's with a lot of tackles, when it matters.
BPK (I think) mentioned trading Starks last year. If we truly have no intent to sign him long term, then why not? I don't think there's a TE on the market as good as Starks, so nix that. Maybe for a 2 or 3. get rid of that bloated 8 million figure too. Save that money for next season.
No you don't trade away a defensive lineman. Stupid stupid stupid. For a tightend? Is this even being talked about..I'm going to cry. @%!%
