Ford or Ward?

Ford to play all 16 games, but not "every down".

Ford might get injured but most guys do it's just a matter of how much time is missed. Ward won't make it half the year before getting injured.

His history would certainly suggest that.

Thats the tough part, we don't want FA's with injury history, but healthy ones cost a lot more. We can't get "team friendly" contracts otherwise? You have to get into 'bidding wars' if want healthy ones.

But at least these guys are talented, not just average FA's. If they don't measure up, we didn't 'kill' our cap for the next 4-5 years.

Although the odds are lower, healthy FA's can get injured too, or their play won't be up to par? Not all FA's play well when they join a new team.
