For a lousy 1 year deal no less! And some still wonder why Dom is gone.
That type of move is completely on the coaching staff. If you have a guy you could resign for cheap, it's up to the coaches if they feel he fits.
No the player roster is the primary responsibility of the GM. Sure the coaches provide insight but the buck stops with the GM. A team with no pass rushers let's their top sack guy walk. That can't happen.
Oh look, another guy balling out in a contract year. SIGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
There are like 3 Bennett threads that have just started so I wanted to try. My thread is the best one.
Rumor has it he doesn't play well against tough competition...come back to Cuba meng!
I agree.

The FO doesn't design the schemes and call the games or decide who plays. The decision to say "we don't need Bennett even though he could be had for next to nothing" was 100% on the staff.

You've got it backwards. The coaches coach the players the GM signs. Again, coaches have input but it's ultimately the GM's responsibility. If you don't understand that, I can't help you. Edit: That's why the Lovie Smith final say over personnel thing is significant.
Is this the board where we make redundant posts about Bennett?
The mistake was not in letting him go but not replacing him with someone better.John Abraham signed late with the Cards for only 2.5 million a year. Abraham 11.5 sacks 37 tackles and 4 forced fumbles.Bennett 8.5 sacks 31 tackles and 1 forced fumbleAbraham would have been an upgrade over Bennett and cheaper. Bennett's production was not irreplaceable by any means . I mean the guy still hasn't sniffed double-digit sacks and probably never will. But thinking Bowers could be the guy to replace it was a huge msitake in hindsight , by myself included . I was optimistic Bowers would blow up this season.
Would not surpise me at all if he signed with the bears and joined his brother. They need a pass rusher badly

Ok pal, I understand that but not every situation with a player is the same. The GM isn't going to blindly bring in/retain players. It is based on how they fit the team and the scheme. In the situation where you have a guy that can be retained for nothing, the coaching staff is asked, do we need this guy, does he fit what we want to do, are there guys we can replace him with, etc. Especially with a team that has shown no problem spending money.
Probably because he couldn't go four or five games without getting an injury here. It was always a twisted ankle or something that slowed him down. Not replacing him was the mistake.
All other Bennett threads are imposters...check the timestamps.
Fuck did the Bucs cut Bemmett as well????

Ok fair enough. So Schiano said to Dom - don't resign that guy who led the team in sacks last year? Because he's got T'eo and unproven Bowers on the bench? I just have a hard time believing that. Dom wanted his second round draft pick to play. Even so, still shouldve signed him for insurance. Poor judgement.
