Re: 2005 RFA Commentary
If Marv weren't going to a division rival, it would have been a simple decision for me. Marvin's numbers have been in decline for the last 2 seasons. He wasn't doing anything exciting for the first half of the season, until he started publicly pouting and they forced the ball to him. My gut says he continues the downward trend and his TDs won't be so inflated by Peyton going ballistic.
I also decided I should worry more about my roster than the Predators'.
Having said all that, I still came close to retaining him and letting Chad go. In hindsight, the smart play would have been to match on Chad sooner and freed the Mutts to bid up Marv. Hindsight's 20/20!
