Why in the name of God would you let a guy who is a good locker room presence go, then sign a guy who has a bad rep, and will be asking for a boatload of money, not to mention he's like 5 years older ??

It's getting harder and harder to find the "good" players who Ballard picked up. Woods, Simon and Sheard, and none of those guys are exactly incipient pro bowlers...especially if Woods gets the boot because he's a NT.

Wow. Got to me more to the story.

Hankins probably wanted to leave. He doesn't want to play in a 4-3 defense, the roster stinks, and there's very little chance to win the division.

Remember when Ellis Johnson abruptly retired when Dungy took over?

For whatever reason, he loved playing in Fangio's POS defense, and wanted no part of Dungy's defense, which ironically was the perfect fit for him. After the Colts released him, he went on to play a few more successful seasons for the Falcons and Broncos.

This move could be similar, as you're saying, Hankins doesn't want to play in 3-4.

Well, this one is a head-scratcher.
