Re: The Sporting News blurb on Claiborne from Vikes writer

I simply dont like this move. The guy is entering his 7th season and in each of the last 2 he has missed a full 1/4 of the season...last year it was a calf injury and 03 was achilles. As you get older you dont get more durable...period. When you are freely let go by one of the worst defenses in the league its not a positive sign. The prize at LB was either Bell or Hartwell. They should have spent all they could on one of these younger bulls who could have anchored the D for years to come. I hope Claibourne proves his last 2 seasons were NOT a trend...but Im not gonna hold my breath. I feel these signings are more window dressing than real difference makers. Had they signed these guys 3 years ago it would be a different matter.
