Agreed. I understand Tad was a popular player with the fans, and he is a great utility player, but everyone seems to be making him out to be some all CFL player or something. Is that from his 1 INT a year? Perhaps his 1/2 a sack? I mean, clearly he had a great year in 2009, but people make it sound like he was getting 5 INT a year. he provided 3 tackles a game and was an emotional leader. Yeah, loosing that emotion is a hit, but I think a guy like Romero can fill that void.

I like Tad, he is a decent player and seems to be well respected by fans and teammates. Was I surprised to see him go…for sure. Was I even pissed off…yeah, at first. But in reflection, something had to give. Unfortunately, that was Tad.

ALSO, for those saying if someone is not signed in 1 week the cap space thing was BS, it might be 6 weeks. Chances are that they want to go after a NFL cut, likely a late cut. By my rough math, they should have about 200k they can invest.

He was signed by the Lions today.. if the use him properly he can be effective... should be interesting to see how Wally uses him against the Riders...
