I have all the confidence that this is going to work out. We know adding a player like this is going to help us become a better football team. And at the end of the day, that?s what it?s all about.
I think you have risks in every player that you sign. I wouldn't call this a high-risk move. Not at all.
With the free agents, we were really able to cover our needs spots. That allows us not to compromise our pick in any way. We don't have to take a lesser player because he plays a position of need.
He's a player that is a competitive player. He's an outstanding addition to an offense. In general, I am a risk-taker. We've gone down that road. We've had some situations that worked and some that didn't. ... I probably have a propensity to try and make things work.
You could have a player that gave you some iffiness but his talent would make a real contribution, but you had to have an overwhelming base of players so you know exactly what you had.
