"It wasn't easy at all. The first year with (Marc Trestman) went OK, we didn't burn it up or anything. We went to the next year and had high hopes and for many different reasons it didn't work out. Then to win five games and end the year as we did … the whole building, there was a dark cloud over it. It was really rough and you just didn't know. The team's future and my future was in jeopardy as well, as far as playing football here. I think knowing or being through the trade in Denver and up-and-down years here made me less nervous about the future. I knew I could still play football. I wanted to stay here. But if it didn't happen, I made up my mind that I'm still going to play somewhere."
