For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.
Football is a big deal at Miami. They play a tremendous schedule. If you're taking a look at somebody -- if he can play at Miami and be that kind of a guy and a leader there, then chances are he's going to be successful up here, too.
It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.

And for that to be Monday night and to know it was the Dallas Cowboys, you roll all that into one, it was very emotional.
As long as he's not getting in trouble, let him go out and have fun.
People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.
