May 14, 200719 yr Found this article written back in 2002 on Sam Adams. A fun read. Then there are those like defensive tackle Sam Adams, whose work ethic is sub-standard, setting a poor example for young players. Yet, he expects the big money to tumble into his lap. Adams was cut by the Ravens early in offseason, and is refusing to sign unless given a break the bank deal. One team interested is the Redskins, who smartly aren't offering big money. Washington's defensive coordinator is Marvin Lewis, who was with Adams in Baltimore. Said Adams, "I'll play for Marvin. Marvin is a very good coach. (But) I don't want to take a pay cut after going to two Pro Bowls and winning a Super Bowl for him. Marvin got a raise. Why shouldn't I? (Maybe because Lewis works -- all the time). "I'm not waiting on (the Ravens). I'm not waiting on any team. I'm just waiting for a team to pay me what I'm worth. Every team that has come to me has wanted to sign me for a bargain. That's not going to happen." ***I didn't add the comment, because lewis works all the time*** http://titans.scout.com/2/51676.html
May 14, 200719 yr I don't see how you can possibly try and justifity saying Allen is better than Adams when he has been on 4 teams in 5 years. There is a reason he hasnt stayed anywhere to long. I know he was hurt last year but still. Will he be better maybe and I really hope so but I don't think you can say he is better than Sam right now.Let's see how quickly Sam gets picked up.
May 14, 200719 yr Let's see how quickly Sam gets picked up. The more I think about it the more I think its a good movie. But to say he is better right now is a stetch IMO. :thumb:
May 14, 200719 yr Great move, now when I am at the games I won't have to hold my breath wondering if Adams can waddle off the field before the next snap.
May 14, 200719 yr "I'm not waiting on (the Ravens). I'm not waiting on any team. I'm just waiting for a team to pay me what I'm worth. Every team that has come to me has wanted to sign me for a bargain. That's not going to happen." Hey Sam, what people are willing to pay you IS what you're worth!
May 15, 200719 yr JungleKats need defensive help big-time so if Sam talks to the owner he won't be teamless to long..............hey wait he is the owner so he can negotiate with himself.
May 15, 200719 yr Adams was brought in to stop the run and the only thing he stopped was the toilet at PBS! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
May 15, 200719 yr do you think Adams was good? He filled a huge hole, but I would say at this point in his career, yes Allen is defintiely better. Laugh all you want, it's true. Allen isn't very good. :lol:

May 15, 200719 yr I would love to hear the explanation on this because I just don't get it. Looks like Marvin is trimming the fat...
May 15, 200719 yr Give or take a few pounds... Give or take $700,000. This is well worth it financially.
