Al was shrewd...this explains the Gruden trade to Tampa Bay...ALWAYS get something for (you finish it).
This (see, below) does not constitute an admission, direct or indirect, express or implied, tacit or otherwise - I wanted to do this, but Al wouldn't let me.
During years of my career, when team B hired a coach who was under contract with team A, team B paid a very minimal amount, leaving team A to pay the bulk of
compensation owed - the league adopted a policy prohibiting that - something to keep in mind, if Jim Schwartz is given permission to leave.

Sorry...not happening. I have worked a LONG, LONG time. (I am crawling to my FRA - but no longer). Politicians are going to have to fix Social Security (but not on MY back). And fix healthcare while you're at it.

Dr. Oz wants Americans to work longer and retire later—but we know that’s not the answer. Pushing seniors to delay retirement won’t solve the deficit.
It’s time to demand real solutions: make the wealthiest pay their fair share and protect Social Security for everyone.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

"for now, while both trades feel odd, they're only bad deals if you believe the wiz were going to extract more value out of their cap space this summer than the acquisition of two stars who, while imperfect, serve actual purposes."
