Q: How do you evaluate balancing who is already on place on the roster and these draft choices?
BB: Yeah, well, I think that’s a good question. I think that on Monday’s waiver wire you’re going to see a lot of players on it throughout the league because of players that were drafted or acquired or free agents, whatever it happens to be, that other transactions will offset those or be part of the process so we’ll just have to see how all of that plays out. There’s definitely a little bit of juggling there. I’d say the main thing for me would be that if the player’s circumstances change to the point where you don’t really think you can give that player a fair opportunity, then it’s in your best interest and his best interest to move on and let him find a better opportunity somewhere else. I’d say that’s not an infrequent situation. It comes up. It’s not going to be 20 guys, but there’s a player that’s going to end up getting stacked behind a few guys and you’re going to be able to really give him the opportunity that you thought you would, at a different point of time, then when things change I think that the player appreciates rather than go through training camp, and get halfway through camp and see what is already evident now then that makes it a lot easier for him now to find a better opportunity. When that’s the case, that’s how we usually try to approach, I think that league wide that’s what you’ll see from a lot of team. You’ll probably see some guys who are not with a team now go to a team based on some teams not being able to maybe acquire a certain position or need in the draft and then looking to a veteran player who’s unsigned to possibly fill that spot, or compete for it.
