You realize the majority of the players in the NFL are NOT starters, right? Depth is very important as well.

Losing Moore didn't hurt our depth at QB and losing Danny didn't hurt our depth at WR. I don't know enough about Elam to form an opinion on him but Cleveland is not resigning him and this is the first I heard mention of him as a candidate in FA. He is not a highly rated FA, the only reason this story is being written is because he played under Ryan for two years. Our depth at safety has sucked for a while now but I doubt losing Elam four years ago had much of an impact, if any.

Moore is not better than Steven McGee...You may like to think that he is, but there's a reason Carolina has drafted like 11 QB's in the past two drafts, including using top picks both years on a QB. Anybody that makes an assinine comment like Amendola being better than Roy Williams deserves to be banned for ignorance.
And a pet rock is better than Alan Ball, that doesnt exactly say much about Abram Elam

So what? 7 yds per catch for a WR is absolutely pathetic. In fact its probably alltime bad type pathetic.

I wouldnt, although I do hope RW is replaced.
This Amendola love by some of you is pretty lame.

The last time I spoke with Stephen Jones, which was this morning during breakfast, he confided in me that Michael Huff was as good as ours.

But Roy Williams caught more TDs Hi-Yuk, Hi-Yuk.
Another brilliant move by Jethro

A Nigerian scammer wouldn't know Jerry Jones' nickname. This guy is clear.

Elam has been mentioned plenty of times as a solid option in this FA safety class. Also, again.. Amendola in the slot would be better than Roy in the slot, anyday. His skill set is just better for that role. Same with Moore. If, God forbid, anything ever happened to Romo and Kitna, we'd be better off with Moore than McGee for sure.
So those are three places we could have upgraded our depth if we had kept those guys, and even upgraded our starting unit with Elam over either Sense or Ball last season.

7 yards per catch gets you that first down almost everytime. Im not sure you really understand the role of a good slot receiver. The "Amendola love" as you so immaturely call it, is based on production and skill set. Both favor Danny in the role of slot WR.

Yikes.. check this out regarding Elam's family.
Since 1987, three of Elam's siblings have been shot to death. His older brother, Donald Runner, was fatally shot in 1987. His sister, Christina Elam, was killed in 1999. On May 9, 2008, his older brother Donald Elam was fatally shot; at age 14, Donald Elam was once the youngest person ever indicted for murder in Palm Beach County, though he was later acquitted.

it gets better...
In 2002 Elam, then a former Notre Dame player, and three of his former teammates (Donald Dykes, Lorenzo Crawford, and Justin Smith) were charged with rape and sexual battery by a 20 year-old athletic manager for the football team. The woman claimed that she was lured to a bedroom after meeting Smith at a bar and agreed to go with him and another woman. She claimed that the four men repeadetly raped her.
Rape charges were filed against Dykes, Crawford, and Smith. St. Joseph County prosecutors also charged the three men and Elam with conspiracy to commit rape. Crawford and Elam were charged with criminal deviant conduct. Elam, Crawford and Smith also were charged with sexual battery. [5]
All four men were kicked out of school prior to any criminal investigation, after the university ruled independently of the legal system that the students violated the school’s sexual misconduct policy. Over a year later, Dykes was acquitted. Charges against Smith and Crawford were dismissed. Elam rejected multiple plea arrangements that would have required him to testify that his three teammates committed rape, and was controversially convicted of a lesser count of sexual battery and given two years of probation
