Thank goodness. They wasted way too much time trying to develop him simply because he was a former 1st-round pick that they were afraid of admitting was a bust. I'm still amazed that they chose him over McNabb.

I'm a bit surprised that it was him traded today and not Lewis. Maybe Lewis just made too much for many teams to fit him under the cap. I doubt that it was his age or limited ability, since Nate Thompson (at half Lewis' cap hit) was wanted by someone.

McNabb

Agree they should have admitted their mistake before the entry draft..

Doubt $ was the issue with Lewis. If it was an issue Blake would have just retained salary to get the pick.

That's true. He did retain 25% on Forbort.
