I really wish they would at least contact Wilkins agent and get the scoop.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did.  Beane sounded really disappointed that he wasn't able to make a move yesterday...that teams decided to hang onto players rumored to be available.  Then he said he won't stop and reminded the questioner that Jordan Phillips was not on the Bills at the trade deadline last year yet played in the playoffs.

Hoecht should have made it clear to the world, that what we've been lacking is that animal who we can list as an OLB but can be put  between the Tackle and Guard.

Something we haven't done since Lorax. I personally hope Jackson will turn into that.

It hopefully opens McD's eyes to if you want pressure up front, ya gotta have the troops. Rushing fo only against 6 plus a back is so 90's....or for teams with 4 top 20 picks on the line. If ya don't wanna blitz, you gotta have the horses. Your young 2ndary will thank you, like they just did.

Sure but he would be a complimentary piece here not a piece that changes the offense dramatically. He isn't the guy that can just flat out win outside against press coverage. Was that worth what it took to get him? I'd probably have been willing to offer a 4th this year and a 5th next year. But that isn't as good as the Seahawks offer. And that is about as high I'd have gone. 

I suspect Beane felt similarly about Shaheed. I also suspect (based on the quotes from his presser) that he was trying to make a bigger move - Olave or Waddle most likely.
