I'm disappointed that DA wasn't living up to his contract, but he wasn't a problem IMO either ...Ballard must be seeing something we don't; maybe there was something more to the DA not-being-used properly sentiment.

Super quiet on the FA new so far that I've seen.
I would imagine, if there's any truth behind this article, that Ballard has had a lot of conversation with the coaches. Not just Pagano, but with all the position coaches, who are the guys who work day in and day out with the players. From this he has some sense of who are the guys who come to work everyday (think of the old days of how Reggie Wayne used to show up for camp) and those who don't.

Ballard said it. You want guys who earn their contracts and earn the respect of teammates because they work for it. You don't want guys that other players resent.
