[CBFF] 10 things begin wth No. 8

[Dwayne]

How much leverage did JA have trying to trade a player who wanted a huge
contract, told the world he would sit out and would never play a down for
the Bears again, and had the evil Drew as an agent?

The thing that bothers me most is that the media, and myself, think JA won
this battle, therefore Drew will be even more evil when it comes to T.
Harris.
