Because our FO had no fault in that one. Jax forbade him talking to us. We were locked out - there was no legal way to even have a shot at him. About the only way we could have signed him was to surrepititoiusly contact him, give him a bundle of money under the table to refuse to talk to anyone else, which is tampering since he was under contract with Jax.
There's no way Rick can be blamed for not signing Brunell.
I'm moving past this stuff, but I couldn't let this one slide. We were not given permission, because we didn't make a trade offer in the range of Washington.
Whether that is a mistake is debateable. But, we were not locked out, we just didn't like the price.
Which, personally, I agree with.
