Active Roster
I’m sure it’s just coincidence, but the last few Pro Football Writers Association “Good Guy” Award winners (as voted on by local media) haven’t lasted much longer.
Kevin Carter, 2006: The Dolphins, under Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller, decided the defensive lineman they inherited was too expensive, and he signed with Tampa Bay.
Andre Goodman, 2007: The cornerback stood up and took the heat for a 1-15 team. He played well the next year, then wasn’t given much of an offer, and signed with Denver.
Vonnie Holliday, 2008: The defensive end, who probably has a future holding a microphone, didn’t restructure his contract and was sent packing after the season. He signed with Denver also.
Greg Camarillo, 2009: The receiver made it through the offseason, but was just traded to Minnesota for a reserve cornerback, Bennie Sapp.
And that doesn’t even include Jay Feely or Justin Smiley, both of whom were “go-to guys” in the locker room — and near-winners of the award — and then were suddenly gone.
